I plan to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to craft strong, comprehensive privacy legislation that puts consumers first.

It is time that we move past the old model that protects the companies using the data and not the people.

Privacy isn't just about major incidents or predictions of the future, it is an everyday issue constantly affecting our lives and the lives of our children.

We renamed the subcommittee to emphasize the importance of putting consumers first, and that is the lens through which I view the important issue of consumer privacy.

Thank you. I also wanted to welcome back Debbie Dingell. Debbie has shown tremendous strength and courage during the past few weeks.

I thank you, Chairman Eshoo, for allowing me to waive onto the subcommittee, a subcommittee I served on for 16 years, and I am happy to be here today.

But my worry is that consolidation of network infrastructure could prioritize cost savings over resiliency in the face of disasters.

I would like Mr. Chairman to enter that into the record, if I could, that report.

The merger of T-Mobile and Sprint could wipe out as many as 30,000 jobs.

The average tax refund will be 8.4 percent less this year, so, so much for the GOP tax reform.

It is no secret that unions are under attack. Corporations have sought to limit the power of unions which are fighting to make sure workers are fairly treated and get a livable wage.

Today is our first hearing since the loss of our chairman, John Dingell.

I want to commend Ms. Kuster for her work on this important legislation to rescind this guidance.

The Trump administration's recent 1332 guidance creates new standards that are wholly inconsistent, in my opinion, with congressional intent

The problems that we face with, you know, more people becoming uninsured and increased costs are directly related to the sabotage that the Trump administration has implemented

I think that the Trump administration's guidance is blatantly unlawful, contrary to the plain reading of the statute and wholly inconsistent with congressional intent.

This profiteering at the expense of peoples' health is unacceptable.

The administration's sabotage has resulted in the highest uninsured rate in 4 years.

Today, this committee begins to fulfill the promise we made to reverse the repeated sabotage of our Nation's healthcare system by the Trump administration.

These junk plans are exactly that: junk.
