today I wish to pay tribute to a true American hero, my friend and colleague Senator 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…
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.
I thank Senator Whitehouse for his unwavering commitment to elevating the urgent need for all of us to take action on climate change. Since 2012, Senator Whitehouse has given over 200 speeches on climate change--faithfully, passionately…
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.
Forcing an agency to beg for contributions for money just to carry out its essential mission is a glossy invitation for corruption.
If these donations from industry are raising so many ethical questions, why should N.I.H. accept them at all?

President Trump wants to make it easier for insurance companies to discriminate against people with preexisting conditions.
this approach does not have any credibility at all. This is just a game to inflate the numbers.
Judge Kavanaugh's history on healthcare makes clear he is a serious threat to families' healthcare and protections for people with preconditions existing conditions.
President Trump is pursuing a path of healthcare sabotage, including ideas that will make this problem actually worse.
From day one, President Trump has focused on rolling back families' healthcare and protections for people with preexisting conditions.
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.
Administrative costs for Medicare are $8.1 billion. That is somewhere between 1 and 2 percent of overall expenditures.
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.
I want to start by thanking Senator Brown for organizing time for our speeches today and, of course, for his tireless fight on behalf of working people in this country. I rise today to join Senator Brown and my other colleagues in standing…
