Rashida Tlaib

I just want to appreciate all of you because it is not perfect, I know this.

I cannot even imagine working in HHS. I cannot.

It creates instability. They want to talk about telework when, honestly, telework actually created some stability in some ways because it is another tool for our residents to be able to continue to get care.

There is no benefit in having medical debt on credit reports and weighing down on so many of our families.

We have had residents who are veterans or seniors report difficulty in paying $3,000 to $4,000 in medical bills.

Medical debt should not prevent somebody from securing a home or even education, basic needs.

I feel like it is completely wrong to have medical debt weighing down credit reports.

I just feel like that practice is a way to discriminate.

It will help us better address all hate crimes, including anti-Semitic incidents.

Without full participation in these new programs, we will not have a full understanding of hate crimes.

It created a new program to support state-based hotlines for victims to report crimes.

As these were starting to happen, you actually were the first organization to speak up and offer your support.

We cannot tolerate these anti-Semitic incidents.

The scenes coming out of Gaza City today of Hamas operatives embedded in hospitals, using the sick and the infirm to defend themselves, are despicable.

I don't understand how Representative Rashida Tlaib says that they are--this is a call for freedom.

I believe this is wrong. Mr. Chairman, undergoing, a medical procedure should never haunt someone financially.

The majority of the time, when you hear folks talk about filing for bankruptcy in our country, a big, huge factor is medical debt.

I think folks don't realize how incredibly important it is to fix credit reporting. It is literally the access to economic opportunities.

Biden support a cease-fire now or don't count on this in 2024.

So, somebody who is poor is not a great driver?

Is that a practice that is increasing within the insurance industry, that is raising the cost of insurance on people who might be working class?

Yes, but the person with the higher credit score is paying 3 times less.

So, what is the correlation between somebody with a lower credit score?

I would love to have more conversations about the use of various factors, like marital status, education level, and credit score, in the calculation of insurance rates in our country.

We should start looking at some of those risks and looking at how we support communities, especially working-class communities.
