There was not one who believed that we should repeal the Affordable Care Act. Can we make it better? Absolutely.

If Congress were to eliminate the Medicaid expansion, our State is at risk of losing close to $2 billion in Federal Medicaid dollars.

We have voted more than 60 times to repeal the Affordable Care Act, and they did not even pretend to have a replacement.

Rolling back protections and coverage implemented in the ACA threatens the health and welfare of hundreds of thousands of Coloradoans.

I do not think we should charge women more just because of their gender.

What we want to do here is to destroy it because we have no earthly idea how to fix it.

It is a fact that 20 million more people have health care because of the Affordable Care Act.

Certainly it is going to put more strain on the food programs.

It is immoral. It is heartless, and it is not even strategic for our world relations.

With leadership comes responsibility. If, in fact, we are the leaders of the world, we need to take some responsibility, if indeed we still are.

When we question the viability of NATO, when we no longer want to be in the Paris accord, ... it will not be America first; it will be America alone.

Conservation programs are a staple of the farm bill, and play an invaluable role in preserving our agricultural landscapes across the country.

I think that we are going to have a tough battle, but we are ready for the fight.

I want to thank my colleagues for that.

I am really excited to be here today for our first Conservation and Forestry Subcommittee hearing, and for the opportunity to work with my good friend, Chairman Lucas, as we get to work on the next farm bill.

Thank you for that. We may think that they are too cumbersome, and they probably are, but I am certainly hopeful that instead of just saying it is too onerous, too much paperwork, help us streamline the process.

if I look at the effects of what TrumpCare is going to do, which is going to make elderly, poor, and sick people pay an awful lot more for their healthcare...

I just want to say some years back in another life I was the mayor of a small city.

Interventions do help.

I'm happy that you think that was a good thing.

This really is, to be honest, nothing more than a continued attack on unions.

I am not an opponent of charter schools, I am not an opponent of vouchers; I am a proponent of public schools.

It appears that the administration intends to push a private school choice agenda that will, I believe, undermine public education.

we certainly do want to recognize Congresslady Marcia L. Fudge, who we have adopted as a Centralian, and we thank her for all of her efforts in that regard.

the intent of the law was equity, that the intent of the law is to at least give every child a fighting chance.
