I oppose this amendment because by stripping the ACA's stabilization bills from this package, we are reneging on the promise that we made to the American people: access to quality, affordable healthcare. This complete package of bills…

It is obvious by the interest on both sides of the aisle and the fact that this is actually something that we agree on, that we all recognize that there is not one simple fix, or one simple solution, and that this is a very complex issue.

To me it seems obvious that excluding those hazards and those exposures undermines the validity of your risk evaluation and amounts to considering non-risk factors, which is prohibited under TSCA.

Based on the scientific evidence available at the time, EPA determined in 1989 that a ban on asbestos was necessary to protect human health.

At your Senate confirmation hearing earlier this year, you testified that President Trump and the EPA are, quote, "focused on putting Americans first," end quote.
