I hope you feel the sense of responsibility, sir, to help us with this, because we certainly need it.

You determined which one is important and which one is not.

This is something that is extremely important to the State of Georgia, and I hope that we will be successful in this.

I hope that the flexibility that the 1332 waiver offers is absolutely crucial to getting more Georgians access to quality, affordable health insurance.

We need to get to the people where they buy their insurance.

I think it leads to what some people may interpret to be waste.

A common-sense bill.

To go back now, I think, would be a disservice to our citizens and a disservice to healthcare, in general.

The benefits are endless, there is no questions about it.

We have heard that there has been 10 years of progress in 1 week in telehealth.

At some point, when this pandemic ends--and it will end--at some point, people are going to list the silver linings.

You can't pick up a left-wing publication or a left-leaning publication without it saying unfounded claims by the President, by President Trump, of election fraud.

This is so important to me. I think this is one of the most important subject matters that we need to be discussing now in our country.

I don't understand why we don't give ourselves more credit for that. I just find that baffling.

I passed legislation--bipartisan legislation, by the way--that was signed into law in January. It is called Combating Pandemic Scams Act.

Thank you, Madam Chair, for allowing me to waive on. And let me add also that this is my favorite subcommittee that I am no longer on.

I find it irresponsible that Members of Congress would be doing this.

This is certainly something that is extremely important, extremely timely.

It seems that we have been focusing a lot on the economics of this and the economics of the clean energy.

It is not something that is unique to just Democrats; it is also something that Republicans enjoy as well.

We must, we must, introduce more science into this equation--that includes environmental science, of course chemical science, physical science, and economic science.

We cannot allow there to be a disproportionate impact on those that are impoverished or those communities of color.

We share the objectives of building upon some of the extraordinary efforts we have had over the past several years in reducing emissions in the United States.

I think the climate is changing. I think that we need to do all the things that we can to make sure that we are mitigating and adapting to the changes that are taking place.

I continue to say that innovation is going to be the key for us.
