"last week the Republicans released their bill, what I call Default on America Act. And of course, it includes a provision that would threaten access to care for millions of low-income Americans and cut over $100 billion from Medicaid."
"I look forward to hearing from the witnesses on how these trends may be impacting healthcare affordability and access to coverage."
"work requirements, in my opinion, won't increase employment. They will cause people to lose health insurance."
"I hope my Republican colleagues will commit to work in a bipartisan manner as we consider these policies moving forward."
"If Republicans succeed in cutting $100 billion from Medicaid, the consequences will be devastating."
"Patients deserve greater transparency in the prices they pay for healthcare."
"Medicaid work requirements do not increase employment. They merely result in individuals losing coverage as a result of bureaucratic red tape."
"Republicans are moving to the Default on America Act without an open or transparent process."
"the Republican leadership prepares to bring Speaker McCarthy's what I consider irresponsible and extreme Default on America Act to the House floor."
"Democrats delivered real solutions, and not one Republican on this committee voted for either the Inflation Reduction Act or the bipartisan infrastructure bill."
"Republicans are manufacturing a debt crisis to justify the need for their irresponsible and extreme Default on America Act."
