Should we as women be paying more for health care because we are women?

Do you support returning to a gap in coverage for seniors under Medicare Part D?

I think competition is the key to getting good prices.

the Secretary of the Treasury is one of the most powerful positions in our government, as we know. The Treasury Secretary has broad responsibilities--for the economy, for our tax system, trade, our pensions, housing, and so much more. It…

Thank you very much, Mr. President. The decisions made by the next Secretary of Health and Human Services will affect all of us, and that is why we are here. That is why we have spent so much time and will continue to talk about the…

Thank you very much. Before asking my question, I want to thank the senior Senator from Washington State for her leadership and passion on behalf of my children and on behalf of myself. As a product of a small rural school in Northern…

before my colleague from Oklahoma leaves the floor, while we disagree on this current debate in terms of voting, I just have to say when I see him that I constantly thank him for his efforts last year to work with us for the community of…

the reality of what has been done in the House and what is now in the Senate is a massive cut to health care in Medicaid and a great big additional tax cut for the wealthiest Americans that does not reflect the values I know of in Michigan.

Twenty percent of the world's fresh water surrounds Michigan and eight other Great Lakes States.

I have tremendous concerns about a wide variety of issues in this budget and how they do not match up with priorities of Michigan families.

If these programs are cut, people will face more catastrophes than ever before.

Republicans in both the House and the Senate pulled the first thread that will unravel potentially the entire health-care system.

But let me just stress that, for about 35 years, we have tried high-risk pools. Thirty-five States had them before the Affordable Care Act. And frankly, they did not produce great results.

this is about differences, fundamental differences, and ideas and policies and what helps people, what hurts people.

We cannot afford to discard and destroy the ACA and Medicaid for millions of people like me who would be turned away.

32 million people, including many of you on this panel today, would lose health insurance coverage.

I want to particularly, Holly, thank you for being here, as the author of the mental health parity provisions in the ACA.

I have heard the same thing from so many people who have been able to go into small business and their life's dream because they've been freed from that chain of having to be somewhere with insurance from their employer.

I think folks on Social Security and Medicare ought to be really worried.

I personally believe people on Medicare should be very worried right now in terms of what we are hearing overall.

Not a lot to live on, and for about a third of the seniors in the country, that is 90 percent or more of their income.

Would you support closing tax loopholes in the U.S. tax code that extremely wealthy people use?

I do not know why, if a facility is closed, the workers and the taxpayers in the community should pay for the move.

I think it is important to know if you are committed to upholding the new President's promise in May of 2015 that he would not support cuts to Social Security.

I think that is an unfulfilled promise and obligation that our country still needs to keep.
