I am going to ask you to submit for the record how you are going to assure protection to the broadcasters and the viewers in that process.

No American ever has to fear being discriminated against or denied coverage based on a preexisting condition.

Figures don't lie, but liars can figure.

Gallup just found that the percentage of Americans who do not have health insurance fell to 13.4 percent.

As of today, as I said, more than 8 million people enrolled in private plans through Federal and State marketplaces.

I raise this issue today because the NRC will soon be considering a proposal to dispose of this waste in a nearby mill site.

I would suggest that the staff report should be reviewed with the utmost of care and deposited then very carefully in the nearest large wastebasket.

The simple fact is, despite 5 years of ceaseless opposition, the Affordable Care Act is working.

Premiums are below the levels predicted by the Congressional Budget Office, and the agency has once again reiterated that the Affordable Care Act has slowed inflation and saved billions of dollars.

The bottom line, I think, is the ACA is working.

Gallup just released a new poll finding that in the last 6 months, the percentage of adults without insurance has dropped about 20 percent.

I hope everyone will take these companies at their word instead of falling for smoke and mirrors from my friends on the other side of the aisle.

Now, while the Affordable Care Act has done a great job in making health care more accessible to the American people, I think most people continue to believe that much more must be done to improve access to care for the people in this…

Well, that is almost a comical answer here.

it was essential for the protection of public health and the environment that EPA have a firm mandate for a comprehensive approach to protection from hazards due to chemical substances.

Many of my constituents have voiced concerns that CICA does not ensure adequate public health and safety standards needed for high-risk toxic chemical contamination found in this region.

the protection of endangered species is far more than a matter of aesthetics.

We have a duty and a responsibility to protect all creatures, great and small.

Now, skin cancer is an epidemic in the United States. It is a pressing public health issue, is it not?

And this is precisely why I have been joined by dear friend Mr. Whitfield to introduce the Sunscreen Innovation Act.

You just can't defend the fact that these things have been sitting around for 8 to 12 years.

But you still got eight sitting around and Food and Drug sitting on them like a hen on an egg, right?

I have been observing that they are sitting on those regulations like a hen on a porcelain doorknob.

It is clear to me that skin cancer is today a major public health crisis in this country, and legislation is needed to improve FDA's review of new sunscreen ingredients.

Well, you are still sitting on them like a hen on a plastic doorknob, and I just find myself thoroughly dissatisfied.
