Frank Pallone actually said...

"I hope to not hear more of the same assaults on the Affordable Care Act or Medicaid today."

"As a Member of Congress, I believe that Government can help all Americans succeed, including seniors and low-income families."

"The Affordable Care Act built on these same goals by strengthening Medicaid and expanding its coverage."

"Medicaid is a bedrock safety net that ensures all Americans have protection against the negative economic effects that undisputedly come with lack of health coverage."
