Bill Pascrell

I believe that the shift we have seen in our healthcare system away from fee-for-service toward a value-based system, quality-driven healthcare system, is a truly bipartisan idea--not a Democratic idea--a bipartisan idea.

How do you get those 18 to 35s into the pool? You can't arrest them and put them into the pool.

The uninsured rate is falling, but there is an increase in deductibles.

We have a growing emphasis in this society on consolidation and merging.

In order to change anything here, whether you are talking about trade, whether you are talking about anything, you need bipartisan support to make a lasting change.

How in God's name do we have a panel without the HHS Secretary?

There are some things we disagree with, there are a lot of things we do have in common, though.

Child poverty in the United States is the worst among many developed countries. That is serious.

Companies that claim they protect a child from a concussion with their sporting goods equipment when they cannot should be prevented from using this tactic.

To this end, we urge the subcommittee to support Congressman Pascrell's common-sense pro-consumer bill.

Both the BOSS Act and the BOTS Act crack down on robotic ticket-buying software.

The Youth Sports Concussion Act would help ensure that safety standards for sports equipment are based on the latest science.

Only Congressman Pascrell's BOSS Act offers comprehensive solutions that collectively will significantly improve fans' ticket-buying experiences.

This is a very sad day. A good friend of ours died yesterday, he played for the Baltimore Colts, Bubba Smith.

We could come to some resolution if we are at the right place, if we are at the right place.

And we can do all the political pontificating we want. If we are not going to try to help, nothing will get done.

How many times does a child in poverty, who doesn't get enough to eat, doesn't get the proper health care when he doesn't get enough to eat, how is that child damaged physically, psychologically and spiritually through the years?

The States with the worst child hunger, Mississippi, Arkansas, New Mexico and Georgia, these Members representing their constituent voices when they vote for SNAP cuts, so if you are a representative from those States and you see our…

As the chairman of the Congressional Fire Services Caucus, which is the largest caucus in the Congress, I rise in advance of the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the National Volunteer Fire Council on May 20 so as to recognize its…

Today, May 18, 2016, I was unable to vote on H. Res. 735. Had I been present, I would have voted: ``Nay''--Rollcall No. 200--H.R. 735--Rule providing for consideration of H.R. 4909--National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017.

I commend my friend from Ohio (Mr. Renacci) for his work on this bill. As he knows, I have been interested in this issue of tax fraud and identity theft for some time. I am pleased that the bill we are marking up today, H.R. 3832, includes…

I just want to quickly say that what is really happening out there is that many seniors are being preyed upon. When you get a threatening phone call, you don't know what to think. And when you are up there in age, as some of us are, Mr…

I think we should let that settle in for a few seconds. Extremely problematic, I think, from an oversight perspective, and most importantly, from a safety perspective.

But if we don't do it this time, then we have to wait another 15 years before we change those forms, and our seniors will not be well served.

I am proud to be a cosponsor of H.R. 3209, the Recovering Missing Children Act. I thank my friend, Representative Erik Paulsen, for introducing it. It is strong, it is reasonable, and it is the right thing to do. Representative Joe…
