Michelle Lujan Grisham

We need this committee to put forward a bipartisan, low-hanging fruit bill every year.

I'm confident that we can move these issues forward in a bipartisan way.

The Affordable Care Act at least tries to level that in many ways, but I am one of those policy makers that think we need to go do a lot more.

I think I can be qualified as a health care expert for three reasons. I am a patient.

I would submit that if any of you have--does anybody on the panel have a family member on Medicare or Medicaid?

I really appreciate this hearing. I think it is demonstrating on both sides of the aisle these principles: one, the healthcare system is incredibly complicated...

I disagree that this is the most useful time here and believe that we could do a much better job by supporting them to enhance these partnerships by having the resources to do so.

The faster Congress realizes that we are hurting millions of people across the country, that every single day, by failing to accomplish one of our fundamental responsibilities, the faster this senseless shutdown ends.

In New Mexico, we are on the forefront of climate change.
