283,000 people in my district, including 51,000 children and 120,000 women now have health insurance.

The States that have expanded Medicaid have seen significantly lower rates of uninsured.

this is really an appalling number, 5 million Americans who would receive healthcare coverage if Republican Governors and State legislatures took the simple step of expanding Medicaid.

Up to 36,000 children in my district with preexisting conditions can no longer be denied coverage.

We should work to ensure that promising technologies, especially those that can save and sustain human lives, have the support needed to reach and benefit the public.

the United States needs to figure out how we support this industry, and I just want to make sure that that has absolutely been heard.

I believe we ought to be careful not to slow down the progress described by 'Moore's Law' with 'more laws.'

I just wanted to make the point that this is not a freebie for the Federal Government when we say that we do it through tax breaks that we would give to corporations.

But I want to just make the very clear point that you say without any new federal dollars. Not true.

Private and public money is really needed to keep us in the forefront.

I hope all my colleagues will join in working to increase National Nanotechnology Initiative funding moving forward.

We have the brains. We have an infrastructure to do this, and it would just be such a pity if we lost this in the global marketplace.
