Bill Pascrell

You voted more than 70 times to repeal the protections and take us back to the days of uncertain and discriminatory coverage.

The ACA has substantially improved access to care and financial security.

And we continue to let them deduct the cost--get this. We allow them to deduct the cost of moving their operations overseas. How un-American do you get? We need to stop that. There is a bill, by the way, to do that, if you noticed. If you…

The bill before us today did not go through committee like a bill this large should. We could have offered amendments to address some of the most pressing issues with this tax bill. I would have started with how this bill cherry-picks…

I thank the gentleman from New York for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 6615, the Traumatic Brain Injury Program Reauthorization Act of 2018. I join the traumatic brain injury community in expressing my gratitude to…

Due to a matter at home requiring my attention, I missed one recorded vote on Friday, November 16. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 420. ____________________

For hundreds of thousands of New Jersey families, that is a mortgage payment; that is a tuition bill; that is money for unexpected medical bills. Instead, it is going to be moving to pay more bills in Montana and South Dakota. I offered an…

This is the sequel to ``Weekend at Bernie's.'' But this doesn't work. The headline yesterday in The Washington Post was: GOP Campaigns Ditch Touting Tax Law in Ads. The first one stunk. This is even worse. Republican economist Douglas…

For decades, the Miscellaneous Tariff Bill Act of 2018 has had longstanding and broad bipartisan support in both Chambers of Congress. It has been used as a means to bolster United States manufacturing and competitiveness by temporarily…

By the way, Mr. Ranking Member, many medical devices are sold to people old, like myself, who are on Medicare. You continue to cut Medicare, and you will be cutting off your nose to spite your face. Congress most recently passed a delay of…

I know the great intentions of the sponsor of this legislation. That is not in question. What is in question is that we have very, very short memories when it comes to healthcare. We made a commitment when we put the Affordable Care Act…

No, I don't have a motion. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is not recognized for debate at this time.

The President is not above the law, sir. I am not above the law. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Does the gentleman have a motion?

Do you want me to make a motion to extend? Is that what you are asking me to do? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair would entertain a motion to adjourn at this time.

That is unacceptable. I did not engage in any personalities. I read from the record. I didn't call anybody a name. If I read it, it was somebody else that was writing it, not me. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Remarks in debate in the House may…

I am going to read a little bit more of the dossier, and I am going to stay away from the scurrilous things that have been reported in the newspaper, because they, to me, are just distractions from what we should be looking at. This is…

In light of the upcoming one-on-one meeting between President Trump and Vladimir Putin, I rise today to remind the American people about the cloud of collusion hanging over their heads. As the American people continue to learn details of…

Reserving the right to object, I want to thank Representatives Chris Collins and Frank Pallone and Senators Menendez and Lisa Murkowski for the support and work to get this bipartisan bill to protect the health and wellbeing of our…

Leviticus Chapter 19: 33-34, in the Old Testament--Democrats can quote the Bible also. As a practicing Catholic, let me do that. ``When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must…

I stand today in solidarity with the workers who have paid in for years to have retirement security only to have the rug pulled out from under them. Mondelez International, the maker of iconic Nabisco products, like Oreo cookies, has, in…

I am pleased, Mr. Speaker, to be on the floor today regarding a bill that we have been negotiating for many months and that deals with an incredibly important topic: the opioid epidemic that is having a devastating impact across the…

I have no more speakers on my side, and I reserve the balance of my time.

I thank the gentlewoman from Texas for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I want to associate myself with the words of Scott Taylor, the Congressman from Virginia. This is National Police Week. I would like to see the passage of H. Res. 285. As a lead…

February 28, Trump, who owns 12 golf courses, rolled back a rule limiting water pollution by golf courses. April 4, the State Department ran an online ad for Mar-a-Lago. Isn't that nice? September 19, reports reveal that the Pentagon spent…

Yesterday was tax day. Today is tax day. I call upon House Republicans to allow review of the President's tax returns. Now it is tax day again, so I want to reiterate and give my colleagues a vote for transparency. It was reported…
