We should be standing up for American workers and their families in every area, their wages, their right to organize, workplace safety, retirement security, access to affordable healthcare.

Tariffs are an important tool that we should be willing to use to make sure that American workers and American businesses can compete fairly with their counterparts in other countries.

Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you all for being here.

They have to be part of a bigger strategy, a strategy for protecting American workers.

Forcing an agency to beg for contributions for money just to carry out its essential mission is a glossy invitation for corruption.

If drug companies and rich donors want to chip-in for more N.I.H. research, they should do it through their taxes like everyone else.

If these donations from industry are raising so many ethical questions, why should N.I.H. accept them at all?

Do you agree that science should be setting the agenda at N.I.H., and not donors?

The National Institutes of Health funds this country's top researchers and doctors. N.I.H. grants fuel medical breakthroughs, help universities pursue cutting edge science.

How did Treasury allow a tariff exemption for the subsidiary of a sanctioned Russian company?

The American people and the world deserve to know how Putin makes his money.

I am not convinced that Treasury is doing everything possible to hold Putin accountable for using cyberattacks to interfere in our elections.

You are supposed to give a briefing to all of Congress. I just want to know when it will be ready.

Sanctions usually involve an effort to follow the money, and Russians close to Putin are using every opportunity they can to make it harder for the United States to follow the money.

It is time to ramp up the fight for Medicare for all so that everyone is covered...

The Federal government does not make a profit----

This approach does not have any credibility at all. This is just a game to inflate the numbers.

Administrative costs for Medicare are $8.1 billion. That is somewhere between 1 and 2 percent of overall expenditures.

The cost of healthcare is too high, we are looking for ways to bring it down, and today we are focused on administrative costs.

I also hope they will come back to the table to work with us on legislation to bring down healthcare costs because I know that is what families in my state are counting on us to do.

I hope Republicans join us in rejecting his nomination just like they joined us in rejecting Trumpcare when it threatened our families across the country.

Judge Kavanaugh's history on healthcare makes clear he is a serious threat to families' healthcare and protections for people with preconditions existing conditions.

From day one, President Trump has focused on rolling back families' healthcare and protections for people with preexisting conditions.

President Trump wants to make it easier for insurance companies to discriminate against people with preexisting conditions.

President Trump is pursuing a path of healthcare sabotage, including ideas that will make this problem actually worse.
