My amendment--and I say this in anticipation and hope that the Chair and the gentleman from Florida doesn't think I am tampering. Tampering has a very negative connotation to it. What I would like to think we are doing is legislating…

The Democrats on this committee have been outraged... We are angered by any singling out of any tax-exempt application based on ideology.

Put the shoe on the other foot. When Democrats were investigating the lies and the incompetence of the Bush administration, we would be in disbelief at this ineptitude as well.

Anything else would show that this committee is not using its time and resources seriously.

Do you think American taxpayers would be upset to know that this phony investigation has already cost them over $16 million?

I want to thank you for your service. Thank you for your patience, and I want to apologize to you for the way you have been treated this morning.

Today, June 12, 2014 I missed a recorded vote, rollcall No. 308, the motion to recommit H.R. 4457. I would have voted ``yes'' on this measure.

What's shocking to me is all the fake outrage from my colleagues on the other side of the aisle about this reconciliation process when they have voted time and again to make this process harder on working families.

The success of this act, though, is really unquestionable.

The more data that comes out, the more stories we hear of people getting coverage, the more we can ensure the ACA is working.

We tried to get our colleagues on the other side of the aisle to see what they were doing.

the Affordable Care Act has taken some very important steps that are long overdue, and in the process, it is also doing something about health care costs.
