In my home State of New Hampshire, 40 people lost their lives in the last flu season...

The number one ingredient in nonstick frying pans is also an ingredient in our cosmetics and our personal care products.

I think this is an important area, and I know my constituents will be as shocked as I was to see that as literally the number one ingredient, that PFAS is just such a big issue for us right now.

We don't know how our exposure to these chemicals is affecting our health.

There is rarely a day where we don't open our newspaper and read yet another story about a town, a school, a community faced with unsafe drinking water.

Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 625. ____________________

And can you provide that to this committee, your analysis?

I have been in Congress for 7 years. I voted 55 times not to repeal the Affordable Care Act because our colleagues were so persistent about week after week, month after month voting over and over again to repeal the Affordable Care Act in…

And yet, you sit here today singing the praises of the Affordable Care Act and how proud you are of your work to bring down the rates, but at the same time you are cutting access for 400,000 children.

I was very proud to lead bipartisan legislation. It passed the House, Protecting Americans with Preexisting Conditions, last May.

Well, encouraging junk plans that do not cover Americans with preexisting--we heard the testimony right here.

On Wednesday, September 25, 2019, I was unavoidably detained and missed rollcall vote No. 542. Had I been present for this recorded vote, I would have voted ``aye.'' The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the amendment. The amendment…

manufacturers and retailers are creating a new generation of nicotine-addicted consumers at a time when our nation's youth face unique obstacles, now more than ever.

I personally don't think we should be holding out any of these products as 'safe' to the public because we haven't had the research and we have not thoroughly tested them.

Across the United States and in my district, we are seeing more and more communities threatened with PFAS contamination. The proliferation of toxic PFAS chemicals throughout our environment is a risk to human health, and as Congress…

H.R. 3, the Lower Prescription Drug Costs Now Act, does just that by capping out-of-pocket costs for our seniors.

Does that include menthol and mint cigarettes will be cleared from the shelves?

My fear is that we are repeating those same mistakes and making way for a new generation grappling with addiction.

The primary goal here is to save patients' out-of-pocket costs.

According to the National Institute of Health, 81 percent of adolescents who have ever used tobacco products began with a flavored product.

I thank the chairwoman for yielding, and I thank our colleagues on the other side of the aisle. I am so thrilled today to rise in favor of the Christa McAuliffe Commemorative Coin Act. Christa McAuliffe was a teacher at my alma mater…

This is a win-win-win scenario and a very bipartisan hearing, and we can save the planet, save money, create jobs, and, it turns out, save the birds.

Because that report is well overdue to Congress. And I think the actions reflect the priorities and the concerns, and combating sexual violence is a priority of mine and I think one that we need to take very seriously.

These children are traumatized, and all the more reason to treat them with respect and not engage in furthering their trauma.

So, again, Mr. Speaker, this bill has strong bipartisan support, and I encourage all my colleagues to support it.
