If we want to build a healthier, economically strong America, we must maintain our investment in prevention.

The Republican budget would do nothing to address income inequality.

The Republican budget makes it clear that their party puts the very richest Americans as the top priority.

I must point out what I see is the misplaced focus of my Republican colleagues.

This is a sad example of how the Republican budget is dangerous for women.

Well, the House Republican budget ends the guarantees we have made to our seniors by turning Medicare beneficiaries over to private insurers.

The House Republican budget would turn Medicaid into a block grant, repeal the important new benefits under the Affordable Care Act and cut federal funding for Medicaid by a staggering $1.7 trillion over the next decade.

We need to ensure that we don't force FDA into a position where its approval standards are lowered.

I both understand and support that goal, but I also want to ensure that in seeking to accelerate drug approval that we do not expose patients to unnecessary and unacceptable risks.

I strongly support the development of drugs to enhance therapeutic options for patients with rare diseases.

Don Payne was a real citizen of the world, a quiet and dignified gentleman, but he had a fierce commitment to justice and human rights everywhere.

When I heard that his situation was grave, I gave a call to his brother, Bill, whom I had gotten to know on trips that he and Don took, and had the privilege then of speaking with Don.

I wanted to point out and thank you for the fact that 54 million Americans were provided at least one preventive service in 2011 through their private health insurance plan for no cost.
