Just last week the administration chose to delay implementation of the employer mandate by 1 year. While this delay grants business owners more time to determine their options, it is not the repeal that we need. The House majority…

That's a great point that I brought up when we were debating it back in 2009. What people don't realize, as it didn't get a lot of coverage, Mr. Speaker, is that the Federal Government took over the student loans. So you're going to hear a…

When we were debating it, the number was always 40 million people uninsured. So we've completely upended the health insurance market and have put all this uncertainty into the economy. I think it's the biggest drag on the economy. Now, we…

I thank the gentlelady for yielding. It seems there's no shortage of red flags regarding ObamaCare. The one-size-fits-all health care law is proving to be disastrous for consumers, for employers and health care providers alike. Just last…

We hear stories like that all the time when we're home. We had one in the Energy and Commerce Committee when we had a gentleman who had a chain of restaurants he's developing in New England, which isn't where I'm from, but he was before…

I think there would be more certainly for clean energy, because it would make incumbent energy more expensive.

We have solicited the leadership and assistance of Representative Brett Guthrie and Representative Kathy Castor to introduce bipartisan legislation in the form of H.R. 1563.

I come before you today as both a Member of Congress and a former army officer to thank you for your past support of this issue and continued work that we need to move forward.

Put simply, we are not learning from experience and if we are, we are learning too slowly.

This bill would unite public and private resources to address the growing problem that is urotrauma.

This lack of adequate infrastructure is exacerbated by the inherent complications of transitional care from DoD to VA where most victims will receive treatment for the remainder of their lives.

I urge this Committee to continue the work it has already done to further our care for these wounded warriors.

no veteran should be denied needed medical care.

Urotrauma accounts for wounds to the kidneys, reproductive organs, and urinary tract organs. These injuries are some of the most common and debilitating suffered by our veterans from IED detonations and have long-lasting physical and…

I know that this bill would unite public and private resources to address the growing problem in urotrauma.

I think it is our job as Members of Congress as people have brought this issue to us, is that to make sure these are implemented and have oversight of the implementation of the task force because it will go as far as we reflect.

I think it was kind of the--well, what was bipartisan was an agreement that we don't want kids graduating from school with too much debt.

I thank the chairman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 1120. This bill is important for our employers, employees, and our Constitution. It has already been said, but I'd like to make that point again: the President does…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I rise today in support of the SKILLS Act. This legislation is a key tool to improve employee skills, and, in turn, strengthen our Nation's workforce. Jobs and growing our Nation's economy must be our…

I believe even Jerry Brown, the Governor of California in his state of the budget, so it is not a Republican sitting here trying to say this is an issue.

The President when he was pushing the health care law said it would reduce premiums on a family of four by $2,500, and we have now seen it has increased by 3,000 per year.

I'm pleased to see that President Obama now recognizes his proposed sequester is a meat-ax approach to cutting defense. Just a few months ago, in the third Presidential debate, he told the American people that these cuts were a…

I appreciate that very much. I am pleased to be back on the committee and one reason I was on before, left, and then came back is for this issue.

You guys are all going to college. I know somebody that has pull that can get me on at Ford and I will make more money than you will.

I really enjoy working with Congresswoman Matsui and a lot of you that participated that are here today.
