20 million Americans would lose their healthcare coverage; protections for the more than 133 million people with pre-existing conditions would be eliminated.

Unfortunately, the Trump Administration is not interested in working with Congress to address this crisis.

Let me be clear--further delay in passing the Heroes Act will cost us countless lives, lasting damage to our economy, and immeasurable financial hardship to millions of American families.

Unfortunately, Senator McConnell and the Trump Administration either do not understand the need for the Federal Government to take bold action.

If the Trump administration succeeds and they do strike down the ACA, we would have 20 million Americans who would lose their healthcare coverage.

The President continues to support this Republican lawsuit that is now before the Supreme Court to strike down the entire Affordable Care Act in the middle of this pandemic.

Further delay in passing the HEROES Act or coming up with some kind of a consensus bill will cost us countless lives, lasting damage to our economy, and immeasurable financial hardship to millions of American families.

But unfortunately, Senator McConnell and the Trump administration either do not understand the need for the Federal Government to take bold action, or worse, they prefer to willfully ignore and downplay the seriousness of the challenge…

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an unprecedented health and economic crisis.

If successful, and they may be, 21 million Americans will lose health coverage immediately.

There's never a good time to be without health insurance, and it's especially dangerous during a pandemic.

The Administration also refuses to invest in outreach and enrollment efforts to make Americans aware of their coverage options.

I ask my Republican colleagues to avoid these self-inflicted wounds.

The American Medical Association wrote in a Friend of the Court Briefing that striking down the Affordable Care Act... would be a self-inflicted wound that could take decades to heal.

The title of today's hearing calls the Affordable Care Act a 'lifeline.'

What you have done with the Federalist Society is the end of the Supreme Court as we knew it and you should be embarrassed.

Merrick Garland should have been given a vote, and nobody talked back then about oh, well, the President was of a different party and that is why the Rule exist.

Why can't we bring back the manufacturing and manufacture those solar panels?

The transition to a low-carbon economy is more important today than ever before, and I mentioned in my opening remarks that we are facing three overlapping crises,--a pandemic, an economic collapse, and a climate emergency--and it is…

As Chairman Pallone said, the Commodities Futures Trading Commission put out a report which warned that climate change poses a major risk to the stability of the U.S. financial system.

Achieving that goal remains critical if we are to avoid the most damaging and costly consequences of climate change.

Unfortunately, this is all a preview of what's in store for the future if we don't take bold, decisive action to combat the climate crisis.

These fires are climate fires, and it was disheartening to watch the President on the ground in California earlier this week, once again, fully deny scientific fact.

This is all a preview of what is in store for the future if we don't take bold, decisive action to combat the climate crisis.

2020 is on track to be one of the two hottest years, if not the hottest year, on record.
