It is a commitment. We will work together in a bipartisan way to find a solution that avoids this cliff and gets these programs on a more sustainable path.

It's no secret how we got here.

But as each of your territories makes clear, we have five distinct programs with five distinct sets of challenges and program designs, and understanding those differences will be key.

Experts predict that, unless Congress acts, none of the territories will have enough Federal funds to support their Medicaid programs next year.

I am obviously opposed to this rule but the thing that strikes me is how it is totally unnecessary.

Today's hearing is the latest step in this committee's ongoing work to hold the Trump administration accountable for the dramatic changes it has proposed to our nation's Title X Family Planning Program.

But I mean were there any OIG audits?

HHS's response to these negative health outcomes is one of silence and indifference.

I am just afraid that you know they are just going to give out Title X funds to some group that you know just wants to narrowly focus their medical advice or whatever, or their advice on just a few things and not the full range of options…

The proposal also restores the mechanism for citizens to pursue legal action to compel PHMSA to fulfill its statutory duties.

It seems very clear the rule was written to open the door to ideological providers and completely walks away from our commitment to be client-centered in family planning care.

So for all of those reasons, of course this rule steps into the relationship between a patient and a provider.
