It provides greater detail.

I thank my colleague, the ranking member of the Rules Committee, for yielding the time and for being a consistent voice on behalf of families and students across America. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to the Republicans' Making…

Where do we draw the line? Because I think as legislation is developed, and your testimony is that you do not want and it is not appropriate to capture the community pharmacists who are compounding.

The needs so far outstrip the resources that are available to families and professionals today.

The Affordable Care Act is working for families and small businesses all across America. Did you know that the Affordable Care Act provides tax credits to small businesses that offer health insurance to their employees and that over…

The contrast here with President Obama's budget is it again strengthens Medicare, lengthens the life of the Medicare trust fund.

What we know about the Republican budget that was passed is their plan for Medicare is to turn it into a voucher.

It is a balanced plan. It reduces the deficit by $1.8 trillion over the next decade.

I would mostly like to thank the Administration for standing with American families, especially our older neighbors, our parents, and our grandparents because President Obama keeps the promise of Medicare.

Well, I think it's time to try something different and end the embargo and lift these travel restrictions.

I think it's time to try something different and -- and end the embargo and lift these travel restrictions.

I thank the gentleman. Democrats in the Budget Committee proposed to strengthen Medicare and replace the Republican plan to turn Medicare into a voucher program. All it does is simply shift the cost to our families and older neighbors. Mr…

I thank my colleague, Mr. Van Hollen. Mr. Chairman, Democrats and Republicans agree that deficit reduction is important; and, in fact, over the past year and a half, we've achieved over $2.7 trillion in debt reduction. But now, the…

Now is the time to act to solve it, to repeal it, to replace it with something that makes better sense for the modern health system.

I concur with Ranking Member Pallone that it is too important for us to just haphazardly steal from other Medicare providers to patch over here.

But it seems like we still have significant headwinds to getting past that 7.5 percent unemployment rate.

I think it is very important for everyone to remember, we have already slashed the budget of the CDC and the FDA.

we have already slashed the budget of the CDC and the FDA.

If we reduce infrastructure spending, they anticipate cutbacks, and private businesses especially.

I thank the ranking member for yielding me this time. Madam Speaker, there are a number of reasons why H.R. 6190 is poor public policy, but I'd like to focus on just one, and that is the unfair advantage that this bill will grant to a…

The United States can become energy independent by 2020 under current policy.

America is now number one in natural-gas production.

I thank my good friend from Florida on the Rules Committee for yielding time. I rise to oppose the rule and the underlying bills, particularly H.R. 6082, because that bill unreasonably expands offshore drilling without the corresponding…

I thank the chairman. And this is especially meaningful coming from Chairman Young. No one has been more attentive to military families and our servicemembers--no matter what service, no matter their veteran status--than Mr. Young, my…
