It seems to me we have reached a point where the old business model of selling electricity needs some updating.

the 340B drug discount program is a real winner.

340B is a real godsend for so many families and health providers across the country.

America just cannot go backwards on this.

providing substance use disorder treatment alone is not enough.

The most serious retrenchment of Medicaid in its 50-year history would be just disastrous for our ability to support families and address this crisis.

the key is long-term coverage to treat this as the chronic disease that it is.

I can tell you, right now, this is very dangerous to the ability of our kids to be successful in life when you move this direction.

If we went to Medicaid caps, it appears that that would lock in Florida's low spending rate.

It certainly isn't the time to go backwards. We need your expertise in how we maintain that level.

All of the progress we have made is at risk. Why? Just to give massive tax cuts to wealthy special interests?

I can tell you, coming from the State of Florida, and this happened in many other states last year, we were able to eliminate the 5-year Medicaid CHIP waiting period for children by using that bump up.

I thank the gentleman. Amendment No. 2 Offered by Mr. Huffman The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, 2-minute voting will continue. There was no objection. The Acting CHAIR. The unfinished business is the demand for a recorded vote on the…

As the co-chair of the bipartisan Congressional Soccer Caucus, along with my co-chairs, Representative Don Bacon, Darin LaHood, and Eric Swalwell, I am pleased to inform the House that last night a group of bipartisan Members came together…

This bill will be devastating to families all across America. The Republican bill rips coverage away from millions of Americans. The last projection was 24 million. They didn't wait for the new projection, which is going to be much higher…

They also said essential health benefits are not going to matter. What good is an insurance policy if you buy it and you can't go to the emergency room? We have got to vote ``no'' on this bill. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the…

We have got to fight back against this crass power play that transfers all the wealth in this country. Vote ``no.'' The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman is no longer under recognition. The Chair would ask Members to respect the gavel…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for calling the hearing today. One of the bills before us today aims to expedite FERC review of natural gas pipelines.

I didn't have to come to the floor to oppose a rule and this 1-week appropriations bill. But I am so frustrated, just like families and businesses are across this country, that this Congress still refuses to have the debates, have the…

The American people deserve better. The majority is not serving the interest of the families we represent back home. They are not focused on lifting the economic prospects of our small businesses and hardworking families. They are not…

In the face of overwhelming evidence of the need to reduce carbon pollution and the need to generate electricity in cleaner ways, the Trump administration is instituting an energy policy that is more suitable to 50 years ago in America.

My neighbors back home in Florida work very hard for their health coverage. When they pay their hard- earned copayments and premiums, they expect something meaningful in return: real health care. That is what the Affordable Care Act…

I am compelled to come to the floor this morning to urge my Republican colleagues to stop hiding the TrumpCare bill. The American people and their Representatives deserve to know what is in the bill. But here is what we know so far. It…

I am here today on the floor of the House to speak out on behalf of my neighbors back home in the State of Florida. I represent a district in the Tampa Bay area. Let me tell you, they are very concerned about the impact of this Republican…
