Charles Rangel

I am convinced that when the final pages of history are written, that your name will be included among the courageous pioneers that have brought health care to all Americans.

I just want to make the point that we are 2 weeks away from the end of the 6-month open enrollment.

It is absolutely no question that there is vast areas that we could be working together.

I would really appreciate to see how many Americans are suffering because the Congress is not moving forward.

My colleagues, there is a cancer growing in the Republican Party in the House of Representatives, and as much of a Democrat as I am, I hate to see this happen because our government is based on a two-party system. Now this cancer, this…

The company was going to be penalized $3 to $4 million per year under ACA if he didn't make this decision.

Well, let me ask you this, then. With those similarities, is there anything that you could suggest that we could do to perfect the ACA in order to get the same type of support, I assume, that you give to Governor Romney's health plan?

But I'm talking about the millions of people that just signed up.

Well, we tried that 49 times, and it isn't going to happen.

What the Congress decided with the Affordable Care Act was that people had a responsibility to offer to their employees health insurance.

Let me thank my friend and my colleague from New York for bringing this important issue to the attention of our Congress and the Nation. Mr. Speaker, it is a strange thing about those Americans who have been raised in poor communities…

What can we do to protect those people who signed up under ACA?

For those of you wondering what this phony hearing is really all about, you ought to look no further than tonight's State of the Union.

I can't think of a program that has done more to take people out of poverty and to bring a sense of self-esteem than Social Security.

If someone were to read the history of the United States, they would think that all the Democrats in this country were poor and all the Republicans were rich. In the last few years of this Presidency, it amazes me how the Republicans have…

I really came down to congratulate you for this fantastic investigation.

Let me first thank the gentlelady from California for carrying this torch during a time that there seems to be such a lack of sensitivity to the poor. As with Lyndon Johnson, there was a concentration of those people who vote--that is, the…

Let me thank Congressman Engel for the compassion which he has demonstrated for the families of those that survived, those that are injured, and those that have been lost. While all of us are anxious to see the results of the…

Let me thank Congressman Waxman for giving me this opportunity. The majority has said that Presidents are remembered by certain things, and this outstanding President will be remembered because he said, if you have a plan--and he didn't…

Whoever hired the Republican consultants on keeping the majority should be able to get their money back. I had a thought just a few weeks ago that a small group in this House had such an obsession with the Affordable Care Act and such a…

health care is important from birth throughout one's life.

Thank you so much, Mr. Chairman.

I have real concerns that we are going to see some adverse selection.

the people who actually need health care the most are too high a risk for some of the insurance companies.

I hate to see the day that there is no Republican Party and I have to rely just on my party for justice and fair play.
