Carolyn Maloney

I find it startling. He calls it, 'acquisition malpractice.'

It really addresses some of the massive deficiencies in our Nation's healthcare system, such as covering preexisting conditions.

I hope you meant your comment on the efforts of the Administration to support housing finance reform and certainty in that area.

There are some successes, but I do want to acknowledge that there is always room for improvement.

I would sponsor such a request. If any Republican would like to join with me, then we could have an independent analysis and research project.

I truly do believe that the Affordable Care Act really is important legislation; and it is by no means perfect.

This proposed women's history museum would be financed privately and not a dime of taxpayer money.

The National Women's History Museum would change that by telling the fascinating, yet mostly untold stories of important women in American history.

I am hopeful that we can move forward on this.

I want to publicly thank my colleague Marsha Blackburn for getting this hearing, for getting the cosponsors, for helping to author the legislation.

These remarkable women helped make this country what it is today.

This bill seeks to change that. When it opens, the museum will help ensure that future generations will understand the many contributions of women.

Today we come to lift up women and to help to preserve and share the legacies of women who paved the way before us.

Women are used to doing everything on our own, and we will build this museum on our own with like-minded men.

This isn't a hearing, it is a chance to take a historic step forward.

I hate to start without her, because this is truly a bipartisan effort.

Women's historical contributions are largely missing from textbooks, memorials, museum exhibits and many other venues.

This statue shows the importance of these women, but there are many other women that have contributed to the success of our great country.

It was only recently that in a bipartisan effort with Connie Morella we were able to move the great statue of the great women revolutionary leaders that led to women having the right to vote.

I mentioned to Congresswoman Maloney one of the things I am interested in pursuing is something called a Treasury-Postal.

I respectfully suggest that Congress can now at this moment play an important and historic role in seeing to it that half of the population of these United States is actually represented.

The fact that we are here discussing it today is symbolic, because it is an important time for women in our Nation.

I truly believe that the best legislation is always bipartisan, and I am thrilled to be working with my good friend, colleague and partner in this, Marsha Blackburn.

Many of my Republican colleagues have criticized President Obama and his team for having the audacity to support one of their own ideas.

Romneycare, which President Obama gives full credit to the distinguished former governor for his work in supplying healthcare to the vast majority of the people who live there.
