Are there any contingency plans to ensure that the 20 million people who are covered under the ACA do not lose coverage?

the administration's cuts to critical safety-net programs target the most vulnerable in our communities

Did you, your agency staff, White House staff, or staff of the Office of Management and Budget, speak or meet with any lobbyists or other representatives of the tobacco industry?

But I continue to be upset by the Trump administration's decision to ask the court to strike down the ACA in the Republican lawsuit that is seeking to declare the entire law invalid.

The devastating cuts don't end at Medicare, Medicaid and the ACA, the President's proposal, cuts the National Institutes of Health (NIH) by $3 billion, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) by $675 million.

The budget weakens our public health safety net and it hurts our country's resiliency.

I think that the briefings that are done for the Congress, if I might suggest, should be open to the public.

This is a jaw-dropping $1.6 trillion cut from the very Federal programs that cover one in three Americans.

adequate Medicaid resources around substance abuse treatment are essential to fighting the opioid and addiction epidemic.

I would just like a commitment from you, basically, to respond to my request to provide any documents to the committee that relate to contingency plans in the event that the ACA is struck down.

I'm also concerned by the proposal to move tobacco regulation out of the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) authority altogether.

It is critical that we get an update on the scale of the outbreak, its repercussions in the United States, and how we can be working together to ensure the safety of all Americans.
