I thank my friend on the Rules Committee for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I have been listening to the debate intently. I don't disagree with much of what my friend from Tennessee had to say. It is a bad habit that both parties have gotten into…

I thank the gentlewoman from Arizona (Mrs. Lesko), my colleague on the Rules Committee, for yielding. Madam Speaker, you heard my colleague's passion from this microphone just seconds ago. Lest anyone thinks this is about money, this rule…

I am grateful to my colleague for yielding the time. Madam Speaker, we could be doing something together today. My friend, the chairwoman of the Immigration and Citizenship Subcommittee of the Committee on the Judiciary, has a bill that…

And I want to thank my friend from Colorado for yielding me the customary 30 minutes. It is a close-knit bunch of folks up there on the Rules Committee, Madam Speaker. If you have not been by recently, you ought to come by. There are only…

I don't have any speakers remaining. I have a powerful previous question vote that I would like to describe, and I am prepared to do that at this time.

We can't always get exercised about every single line in every single bill. We would never get anything done. We have an amendment process so that, if you get exercised about a particular line in a particular bill, you can bring your…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This is a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 230, nays 190, not voting 11, as follows: [Roll No. 221]…

I know where I stand on Social Security, it is the easiest and most predictable crisis we face.

I appreciate the distinction you make, Dr. Biggs, between providing folks with more benefits that they don't need versus taking more money away from them that they might need.

I hope what I am getting ready to say, it turns out to be redundant, that we are going to hear it in the closings of both the gentlewoman from Florida and the gentleman from Texas. We talk about this preexisting conditions' bill today as…

I think we can achieve Dr. Nahvi's goal of not having the underserved walk out on what ought to be an affordable procedure.

Let's agree we are going to spend more money, but let's demand the very best of that money.

I think the question is, we agreed to spend $1 trillion. Are we spending that $1 trillion in the way that helps the most families do the most for themselves?

$32 trillion over 10 years as the best-case scenario, not for the total cost of Medicare for All but just the add-on to the current Medicare program that is already there.

I want to agree with you 100 percent, I support a war tax. I think it is absolutely immoral that we have taken the war off of the front page of the paper.

I think it is outrageous that GoFundMe is what folks would call a successful healthcare system.

We can save taxpayers money, we can save money for families, and we can provide high-quality medical care for every American by doing what every industrialized nation on earth already has.

I credit the young woman to your right there. Ms. Jayapal is--I cannot support her legislation, but I absolutely support her.

My friend from New York is right: They did make a number of amendments in order, but not enough amendments to solve some underlying problems. One amendment they didn't make in order was an amendment to provide disaster funding to so many…

As we have heard so often on the House floor, hopeful wishes are not enough for our constituents. We need to deliver results. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Dunn), who has been working hard in that…

I would like to respond to my friend from New York, but I just have too many speakers who have come down to the House floor today to speak about this. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Cole), a member of…

I thank my friend from New York for yielding me the customary 30 minutes. And, at the risk of opening this debate like I opened so many others in 2019: Mr. Speaker, we have taken an opportunity to do something very productive and very…

You have heard in the last round of 60- second comments a sense of urgency around healthcare. I share that sense of urgency, as I know everybody on my side of the aisle does. But for the next 1 hour, Mr. Speaker, we are going to be talking…

I took my colleague by surprise here. We just came down from a Rules Committee meeting, and I appreciate her yielding me the time. Mr. Speaker, if you didn't have the pleasure of serving with Louise on the Rules Committee, it looks kind of…

And I thank my friend from California for yielding me the customary 30 minutes. Mr. Speaker, when I see someone of your stature come to the chair, I think: We must be down here to debate some serious American public policy. We must be down…
