What it does do is help people make ends meet between jobs so they don't lose their home or have their children have to go hungry.

I think it is unusually a rational and coherent hearing today.

It is remarkable, I think, in terms of where we have come in the last 8 years...

No one looks forward to unemployment insurance, in fact, when they are fired for no fault of their own.

As a New Yorker, how incredibly proud I am of the work of New York hospitals working under tremendously difficult situations at times...

I think it is important that we have an understanding of the role that unemployment insurance plays throughout our country.

It seems corporate tax cuts are always on the table. When it comes to helping working families, they deemed unemployment insurance to be too extravagant.

When was the last time so many States gave workers so little opportunity to earn enough unemployment protection for themselves and for their families?

So I think that is an important point to recognize from the mere perspective, I think, for large cities as well.

I think the word we are looking for is flexibility, having that flexibility of recognizing those challenges and not penalizing for those challenges...

I want to make sure you make the vote, as well as Dr. Price, and that I make it as well.

I have additional questions, but my time is running out, unfortunately, so I will have them in writing for you.

I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 466, ``nay'' on rollcall No. 467, and ``yea'' on rollcall No. 468. Amendment No. 99 Offered by Mrs. Capps The Acting CHAIR. The unfinished business…

I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted: Rollcall No. 433, ``yea.'' Amendment No. 33 Offered by Mr. Polis The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Holding). The unfinished business is the demand for a recorded vote on the amendment…

I understand the Republican majority has pulled a bill from the floor agenda that would have created a new loophole allowing terror suspects to get a gun. That is good news. The bill they pulled was the Cornyn-NRA gun lobby bill, and we…

I think a first grader could do that, but they would probably get an F from the teacher for trying to do something just like that.

I am troubled by the charges the Majority has thrown around that the Administration has somehow not cooperated with the investigation.

To make an analogy, I know my Republican colleagues love the Medicare Advantage program.

Would you be surprised if I told you that not a single Member of the Republican caucus supported the Affordable Care Act?

CSR directly benefits the patients by reducing out-of-pocket costs at the point of care.

It's clear to me this hearing today is only about attacking the Affordable Care Act.

I think it is a shame we are here today. And a shame and sham are very closely related.

We have called this the Charleston loophole because it is how Dylan Roof, who opened fire on a Bible study group at the AME church in Charleston, South Carolina, received his gun. He failed his background check, but not within 3 days, so…

After the historic sit-in that took place on this floor a couple weeks ago, last week I hosted a discussion on gun violence in my district. In attendance were people with a wide range of experiences with gun violence, constituents who…

I sense a bit of frustration in the voice of my good friend from Texas (Mr. Sessions) in appealing to Democrats to focus on the issue before us. We are focusing on the issue before us, the issue of gun violence in America today. If we…
