I want to associate myself with the remarks of my Democratic colleagues who have expressed outrage over the Trump administration's family separation.

I just think it is so wrong for the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress to continue to try to rip affordable health coverage away from American families, especially our neighbors with preexisting conditions.

The Trump administration now is actively promoting these junk plans, and I want American families and consumers across the country to be on alert.

American families are simply tired of the assault on affordable healthcare.

The House will vote again today to reopen the United States Government and end President Trump's government shutdown. It is unwarranted and wrong to force our Coast Guard, TSA, Customs and Border officers, air traffic controllers, and…

I thank Congressman Green for being an outspoken advocate for his constituents, but especially for affordable healthcare for all Americans, especially children. It has been a privilege serving with him. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the…

I really want to thank my colleague, Diana DeGette, and Congresswoman Herrera Beutler, for their work on the Preventing Maternal Deaths Act.

I just, I think that is outrageous.

That is not acceptable and the racial disparities are particularly disturbing.

I encourage our other colleagues to sign on to the bill as well.

It is really the families who are the heroes here.

I have been working on this bill since the 113th Congress with Congressman Joe Barton.

I want to thank everyone on this committee for moving the ACE Kids Act forward.

I share your enthusiasm over the future of the Cancer Moon Shot in precision medicine.

There are all sorts of press reports out there about unscrupulous actors that engage in deceptive marketing practices and who take advantage of patients, and I've heard directly from many families back home in Florida.

For personal reasons, I cannot be present for the vote on H. Res. 990. If present I would point out that if Republicans were really serious about assessing the efficiency of ICE, they would have heeded the multiple calls from me and my…

Greater transparency can theoretically provide consumers with more information to make decisions and predict the costs they are going to incur.

Healthcare costs continue to account for a large portion of our economy, and every family feels the impact of rising prices.

But, I wanted to note at the outset it has been almost 1 month since the Democrats on this committee have requested an oversight hearing on the Administration's family separation policy.

I welcome and thank the witnesses for being here today, and I look forward to their testimony.

I am a proud cosponsor of Congresswoman Schakowsky's Fair Accountability and Innovative Research Drug Pricing Act.

We are struggling right now in America with how to contain these huge cost increases for drug prices.

I just think it's an important piece of it because it seems like something is afoot here--that the manufacturers have--and drug companies have really been playing offense when it comes to 340B and I think it would be fair to take a look at…

When I am at home and I sit down with my neighbors and ask them what's important, this is always the top of their list and it's a little bizarre to me that the committee is having a hearing on this rather than really doing a much broader…

I thank my friend for yielding time, because I was compelled to come to the floor this morning to protest this cruel Trump GOP policy of family separation. This is a new policy. Under past Presidents, when people come to this country…
