We secured Medicaid for those who need it most: mothers, children, seniors and people with disabilities.

Medicaid was created to provide health care for Americans who otherwise could not support themselves, but Democrats expanded the program far beyond this core mission.

Disruption of congressional business is a violation of law and is a criminal offense.

I think that the people who will have the most difficult time with it would be that it doesn’t go far enough.

When so many Americans who are truly in need rely on Medicaid for life-saving services, Washington can’t afford to undermine the program further by subsidizing capable adults who choose not to work.

We have an expansion population that gets 90% federal money, and you have traditional [Medicaid], so a disabled child in Kentucky gets 72 cents when they go to the doctor. And we know that’s just unsustainable.

Balancing the federal budget must not come at the expense of those who depend on these benefits for their health and economic security.

My concern is that corporate America is just investing for the subsidies right now.

You are subsidizing one side of it, not the other, and quite honestly, putting in roadblocks for what is the most important thing--is generating power.

We are here today because the healthcare costs continue to rise, further limiting America's budgets that have already been stretched by the inflation driven by the spending in the last couple of years.
