Elizabeth Warren
The Public Record
Elizabeth Ann Warren is an American attorney, academic, and politician serving as the senior United States senator from Massachusetts since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, she has been a prominent advocate for consumer protection, economic equality, and corporate regulation. Warren gained national recognition for her work in establishing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and has focused on issues such as student debt relief and healthcare reform during her tenure in the Senate.
Sabotaging the healthcare system and raising costs for families have become standard practice for this Administration.
I think a lot of my constituents and constituents for pretty much everybody here would be uncomfortable with the idea of even more companies getting access to our financial data without our effective consent and without strict rules on how…
If we're going to improve healthcare coverage in this country, then I think we've got to look at all the pieces together and try to make them work together.
I think it is critical that the Government move methodically on a regulatory approach to FinTech
Twenty-eight million people in this country have no health coverage at all. Forty-three percent of those who do have coverage struggle just to pay their deductible.
When a health plan has all the power over whether or not you can get quality care, information on price and transparency alone are not going to solve the problem.
Last year, people stood up and spoke out against the mean-spirited Trump Care Bill which would have hurt families by spiking premiums, gutting Medicaid, and denying protections for preexisting conditions.
I am concerned that this Treasury report consistently ignores real concerns that could arise both for consumers and for the industry.
Most Americans don't have enough money to pay cash out of pocket for a hip replacement or an expensive--any of these expensive procedures. They need affordable insurance coverage.
From day one, President Trump has made every possible effort to restrict access to healthcare and roll back protections for preexisting conditions.
So transparency is part of any competitive market. If a consumer doesn't have good information, like price or quality, then let's just be frank. It's impossible to shop around at that point.
President Trump's mixed signals send the message to Putin that he will not face maximum punishment for trying to interfere in our democracy.
If we want to squeeze Putin and his cronies, we need to follow the money and expose the assets so that these corrupt individuals have fewer ways to hide their assets and keep themselves rich at everyone else's expense.
We need a strong leader in the White House who clearly understands this threat and is willing to confront it.
I think you are right on this, and you rightly point out that President Trump's own National Director of Intelligence said publicly that Russia keeps trying to undermine our electoral process, our energy grid, and other critical…
We do not permit other countries to punish our diplomats for doing their job.
Congress wants to push harder against Russia. Last summer, we overwhelmingly passed tougher sanctions on Russia, and over a year later, the Trump administration has not implemented seven mandatory sections of this Russia sanctions law.
If senior administration officials think that the president of the United States is not able to do his job, then they should invoke the 25th Amendment.
They have to be part of a bigger strategy, a strategy for protecting American workers.
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.
I ask unanimous consent that Stephen McCall, a fellow in my office, be granted floor privileges for the remainder of today's session. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________
I rise to pay tribute to a true American hero, my friend and my colleague, John McCain. To know John was to know a man who was fiercely devoted to his family, his constituents, and his country. My thoughts and prayers are with his family…
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.
Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you all for being here.
