We need to stop making bad choices. We need to rewrite the rules so that workers benefit from a growing economy.

If you voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act you would have voted to make the opioid crisis worse in this Nation.

So you support the elimination of LIHEAP.

It is a $6 billion cut to the NIH. Do you support it or no?

We are committed to making certain that every American has access to affordable coverage.

There is a judgment call about whether or not this is--where the decision was made to cut off the advertising during the open enrollment period.

Will you maintain or expand the level of funding and activity provided during the 2017 open enrollment?

Will you work to avoid such premium hikes by enforcing the current law?

Does that include enforcing the individual mandate, yes or no?

Will you uphold the laws of the land even though you oppose?

Will the administration commit to defending and continuing the cost-sharing efforts for low-income consumers?

I want to make it very clear that we will call out any attempt by your department to undermine Americans' health coverage.

President Trump's budget plans are nothing more than a broken promise, while special interest loopholes remain intact.

The health care of the American people is not a political bargaining chip.

So how do we craft our training to deal with this 70 percent? You have a model.

To quote the Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz, 'Inequality is not inevitable; it is a choice we make.'

I do not believe the popular national view that wage stagnation in America today is the inevitable result of globalization and technology.

I certainly hope, Mr. Secretary, that last week's failure of TrumpCare has made clear that the American people want the ACA to be strengthened.

Cutting billions from NIH would be devastating.

I think it is a disaster that will have literal life-and-death consequences for American families.

I have been deeply disturbed by President Trump's recent threats to sabotage health insurance for the millions of Americans that rely on the Affordable Care Act every day.

The fate of their health care really now lies in your administration's hands.

If the spending of the Federal Government was supercharged around this notion that almost 70 percent of Americans need the entree into the digital economy--it is urgent.

Well, that is really my point, is that we have so traditionally been bound by getting a 4-year liberal college education.

I think that there is an enormous role for CPB to engage in this and this effort in a very highly professional, competent way that can do nothing but assist the people.
