Rosa DeLauro

I think it is critical for us to deal with supplemental emergency resources in order to address this issue and this problem.

I want to make sure that any vaccine that we deal with for Zika is going to be available and affordable for people.

What are reasonable terms? A drug shouldn't cost $129,000 for people to get access to it.

50 of my colleagues and myself have sent a letter to you and to Secretary Burwell, requesting that the NIH and HHS assert March-in rights.

But what I want to know is why U.S. taxpayers are getting gouged for drugs that wouldn't exist without the significant investment of U.S. taxpayers.

Look, I realize the pharmaceutical companies invest their resources. They bring a new drug to market. They should profit from that innovation.

American women are not going to--they are going to be outraged if we are not doing something about them and about their ability to be pregnant and to bring a child to term.

Our job is one of applying techniques and principles to every known silica dust hazard in American industry. We know the methods of control. Let us put them into practice.

Okay. Mr. Secretary, many thanks.

You can't do more with less. You can only do less with less.

Tomorrow, I will introduce a comprehensive bill to address wage theft with Senator Murray.

Nearly 80 percent of Connecticut participants who complete the preparatory program take the next step into a work experience at a local company.

My understanding is that the fine for violations and repeated violations is about $1,000.

Let us be real. This is a problem that was caused by the Congress and by this committee.

I would just say that I would think that given the scale of and the size of the issue with regard to homeless vets and some of the attendant problems, that an opportunity where we have seen success would be where we would want to place…

I also want to give a shout-out to a former colleague of yours, Mike Michaud, who is our Assistant Secretary for Veterans' Employment and Training.

My wife works with homeless people here in the District, many of whom are veterans, and what they tell her repeatedly is, you know, 'I need a job, and that is one of my best ways to self-sufficiency.'

I talked about Connecticut and what I believe is really a great accomplishment and ending chronic homelessness amongst our veterans, and we should be proud of that.

There was a campaign called 'lift the caps.' 'Lift the allocation' is where I am going with this effort.

But too many working families today are still not being paid enough to make ends meet.

The Department of Labor exists to represent the workers who form the backbone of our economy and are the engine of its growth.

More people will have ways to pay for services. Twenty million people insured, thanks to the ACA.

I think you are again on point about the--the distressing lack of access for so many children and adults with mental illness to services.

Overall with mental health, this is a very big issue for me.

There was a critical need for greater access to treatment, particularly medication-assisted treatment.
