We are also considering the bill authored by Representative Lisa Blunt Rochester to restore the marketing and outreach funding the Trump administration cut by 90 percent in 2017.

The administration's refusal to invest in outreach and enrollment is making it harder for Americans to get healthcare.

the Trump administration halted all ACA marketplace outreach for the final week of the 2017 open enrollment and then slashed ACA enrollment funding for advertising and outreach by a staggering 90 percent--90 percent.

the real issue is not whether the world recognizes it, it is do we recognize it?

First of all, thank you so much for your leadership. It is an honor for me to be on this subcommittee.

42, 23, 89, 200, and 3. These numbers stand out for me. Forty-two million people will be impacted by the SNAP changes; 23 hearings; 89 witnesses, who didn't recommend the proposals that we are seeing today; $200 million spent on 10 pilot…

Rather than continuing to campaign this campaign of interference, I hope the administration and my colleagues will join with Democrats to find ways to strengthen the ACA and increase access to affordable comprehensive health coverage.
