The proposed budget for HHS cuts $1.4 trillion dollars in essential healthcare programs that are critical to working families and to seniors across the nation.

Can you assure us today that wholesale family separations will never happen again under your watch?

Frankly, Title II could provide the Federal Government near unlimited and unchecked authority to regulate and tax the internet.

I just want an assurance that this kind of wholesale family separation is never going to happen again under your watch.

Their partisan approach is not the answer. Title II is not necessary to preserve a free and open internet.

In November, the American people rejected the vision for our country that this budget represents.

This bill is a new approach, and an open invitation to our colleagues and ISPs alike to come together and support a new way forward--because a free and open internet is critical for so many communities and sectors of our economy.

But I find that hard to believe, since we saw the Financial Times report recently that the big four broadband companies invested less in capital projects last year after the repeal of net neutrality protections.

Last year, President Trump and Congressional Republicans passed a deficit-busting $2 trillion tax cut for the wealthy and corporations.

Americans broadly and overwhelmingly support these rules. Polls have shown that 88% of Republicans, Independents, and Democrats support restoring strong Net Neutrality protections.

Conservatives and liberals alike worry about their voices being shut down by corporations that don't agree with their point of view.

The President's budget also continues the administration's assault on the millions of hard-working families that rely on Medicaid for health insurance.
