We must stop the trauma inflicted on these children.

Intentional policy choices by this administration created what I would call a mental health crisis

I usually blame CBO for everything, in case you haven't noticed.

If it's good enough for Members of Congress it should be good enough for the general population.

I think we should have a robust and lengthy hearing.

Medicare for America achieves universal, affordable, high-quality health coverage.

Agree with universal healthcare, Dr. Burgess.

I don't see--I mean, what I do see is that, you know, our being able to achieve universal healthcare...

The Trump administration is making intentional policy choices to undermine the Affordable Care Act.

It is our proposal, to achieve affordable, quality universal healthcare.

I urge you to consider Medicare for America.

A study out this week found that 15,600 deaths would have been prevented if all states expanded Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act as intended.

I regard this as sabotage of the Affordable Care Act.

One-third of Americans have delayed care due to cost, and that's according to Gallup.

Families are struggling with the skyrocketing costs of prescription drugs and healthcare costs, costs which continue to far outpace people's wages today.

I am here to advocate for Medicare for America, which is a proposal in your jurisdiction that I have introduced with the chair of the Consumer Protection and Commerce Subcommittee, Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky.

I joined my colleagues Tony Cardenas, Tom Graves, and Buddy Carter in introducing bipartisan legislation that would codify, in Title XIX of the Social Security Act, the Medicaid transportation benefit.

We still have to be vigilant and ensure that this important benefit remains available to our most vulnerable citizens.

I am pleased to report that the language was successfully added to the Fiscal Year 2020 Labor-HHS Appropriations bill.

Ending Medicaid coverage for non-emergency medical transportation would literally have been a matter of life and death for many of these individuals.

For decades the tobacco industry has lied to us.

We need to move faster. We need to take action. It is now a month since the Secretary said we were going to move forward on the flavors. Nothing has happened as of yet.

The FDA--and I will continue to repeat--prior administration and in this administration abdicated the responsibility of looking at the safety of this product that now is on the market.

What is the marketing doing to kids?

And that is what the FDA should be doing in that regard there?
