S. 798 would correct an inequity that denies Survivors entitled to the Fry Scholarship the opportunity to participate in the Yellow Ribbon matching program.

I always said we have a social contract with pharmaceutical companies in which we reward them for the risk and the social benefit they bring.

It seems like our social contract has now fallen apart.

I feel like this could be an incredible missed opportunity to align those incentives to improve patient care.

I think we are actually seeing almost a modified version of that now as States are going to Medicaid managed care.

I thank my colleague from New York for yielding, as well as for the tremendous work she and our staffs have done together on the Flood Insurance Affordability and Sustainability Act of 2017. There is a capriciousness of flooding which…

There are disadvantaged workers and their families who are then laid off, and their future diminished, because the Norwegians have an unfair tax advantage.

I am here to speak about a topic which, wherever I go, people speak about--the replacement of the Affordable Care Act or ObamaCare, as people call it. Clearly, we need action. I had a Facebook post maybe a week or two ago from Brian in…

I ask unanimous consent that Patrick Flanigan, an intern in Senator Kennedy's office, be granted floor privileges for the remainder of the day. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________

I am giving you my position, obviously.

I thank the Senator from Colorado for his kind words. I rise to speak about our Republican effort to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. I always kind of chuckle when I say the ``Affordable Care Act,'' as I have a friend back home…

The President's budget proposes to eliminate the Title 17 program, canceling the remaining loan volume authority.

As long as the federal taxpayer gets a return on her investment, we have got to protect the federal taxpayer.

obviously, a big problem before the country right now is, What do we do about rising healthcare premiums? What we know under the Affordable Care Act--or the un-Affordable Care Act--or ObamaCare, as some call it, is that premiums are rising…

it is fair to say that Americans are sick of partisanship when it comes to issues of greatest concern. They are asking, if you will, that we in the Senate put party behind us--behind the needs of the people. This is especially true when we…

before us as the Senate right now, aside from issues Mr. Blumenthal referred to, is the repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act. I am a physician, and I have been practicing in hospitals for the uninsured for the last 25 years. I…

the topic before us is clearly the repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act, and that is what I rise to speak about today. In part I will speak as a Senator, and in part I will speak as a doctor, as I am a physician. My wife is…

I followed the remarks of the Senator from Tennessee. We speak to the American people in light of the House just voting 217 to 213 to repeal and replace ObamaCare. If there is somebody watching right now, quite likely she is concerned…

I rise to pay honor to Rose Landry Long. This past week, the State of Louisiana lost a caring mother, loving grandmother, supportive spouse, and, to me, my wife, and so many back home, a dear friend. Rose Landry Long left us too soon, but…

Today I wish to honor Congressman Henson Moore and recognize his years of service, including his leadership on the Battle of New Orleans Bicentennial Commission. Raised in Hackberry, LA, Henson moved to Baton Rouge where he graduated from…

today I wish to recognize the seersucker manufacturers and enthusiasts across the United States. The storied history of this uniquely American fashion dates back to 1909 when Joseph Haspel designed the first seersucker suit at his Broad…

I would like to acknowledge my experienced and talented friend from Louisiana in his maiden speech, speaking about something that reflects his experience. Briefly, his experience, aside from being an outstanding citizen, was as a secretary…

I support policies that appropriately take into consideration the unique challenges posed by small companies.

I feel like Saint Paul seeing through a glass darkly, so what I'm about to speak of, I'm not sure I entirely understand.

I urge my colleagues to support this joint resolution and allow Congress to review the law and make changes, if needed. It is the right thing to do. I ask unanimous consent that quorum calls during the consideration of H.J. Res. 83 be…
