This administration has been relentless in its attempts to undermine access to healthcare.

I'm encouraged by the bipartisan meeting that was held at the White House yesterday, and truly hope that Congress and the White House can work together to enact legislation this Congress to invest in 21st century infrastructure for America.

Thank you, Congressman Marshall for coming here and talking about some of the issues that are so important...

Women's lives and women's health depend on their ability to access contraceptives. Your actions, your actions, sir, are denying science and putting American women at risk.

I am thrilled that the new Democratic majority in the House is approaching infrastructure with the serious, big-picture thinking that it deserves.

Could you please elaborate on what specifically VHA/VA is doing to ensure a positive handoff of these service members from DOD to VA, recognizing their increased risk for suicidal ideations?

Please provide information on the specific patient characteristics that REACH-VET analyzes.

I am deeply concerned that now, in 2019, under your leadership, the Department appears to be rubber stamping States' applications for these waivers, and failing to be transparent.

Will you commit to making these waiver applications public, the actual application?

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 142, insert after line 4 the following: SEC. 1002. REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL ON THE EFFECTS OF…

Thank you for holding this really important hearing today and I would like to thank our panelists for being here and for your really comprehensive written testimony.

Like many of us, people in my community in Illinois have experienced surprise billing and I frequently hear from constituents about their struggles to afford health care even health care more broadly when I'm home.

Let me be very clear: Equal pay for equal work has never been a reality for women in America. Congress recognized this for the first time 56 years ago, before I was even born, when the Equal Pay Act was passed. This was a foundational…

I also want to acknowledge the hard work and leadership of Chairman Scott, Representative DeLauro, and committee staff on the issue of equal pay. This is a bipartisan bill with support from both parties. I encourage my colleagues on both…

Saturday, March 23, we celebrated the ninth anniversary of the passage of the Affordable Care Act, which has expanded health insurance to over 20 million people in the last 5 years. But quality health insurance remains unaffordable and out…

From a medical perspective, if you wanted to purposely design a policy to be cruel to hurt children, you would design it to look a lot like this administration's family separation policy.

Tearing kids and their parents apart like this immoral--ma'am, it is un-American and it is just plain wrong.
