3.5 million Americans have seen their health care plans canceled under the Affordable Care Act. I've personally heard from many constituents in my district who are seeing their health care plans canceled. For example, Anthony, who is a…

I think it is really important that we pay attention and only make incremental changes so as not to push the small insurers out of the marketplace.

If you are a homeless veteran and nobody can identify next of kin, you deserve your service to be honored with a headstone like everybody else.

If we cannot trust the American Legion to be a proxy, to be that family, then who can we trust?

I do not want to have to put it in the law, but if it does not get fixed any other way, we will fix it.

we are about seven generations removed from the Civil War era. It is completely reasonable and appropriate to seek out the veterans' next-of-kin, whenever possible.

I call on my colleagues in the House and the Senate today to work together to address our differences to fix this government shutdown. The House has started by unanimously passing a bill that will pay furloughed Federal workers back pay…

As you all know, Monday was tax day, so it's an appropriate time to talk about the need for tax reform. We need a simpler, more competitive Tax Code that's flatter and fairer so that we can create jobs and put Americans back to work. We…

I'd like to thank the gentlewoman from North Carolina for yielding, as well as her sponsorship of this important bill. You know, job creation and getting Americans back to work is the number one priority facing this country. And in talking…

I would like to thank the gentleman for yielding. I would like to say a few things about our five departing colleagues, who have given great service to our country. I want to thank them on behalf of the people of the 15th District for…

I'd like to thank the gentleman for yielding. As a Member of Congress and a serviceman, I was as shocked as everyone else by the stories coming out late last year about Dover Air Force Base mortuary sending cremated unidentified remains to…

I would like to thank the gentleman for yielding, and I would like to thank my colleague, Mr. Walz, for his help as we've tried to enact the Hire at Home Act, which has been rolled into this bill. The legislation came from a roundtable in…

The House and Congress this week should pass the health care repeal bill because the President's health care bill is making the economy worse. I saw a recent poll that said 50 percent of small businesses are less likely to hire new…

This unemployment gap must be closed, and as the body that made the decision to send these brave men and women to war, it's our responsibility to ensure that they can return home to a job that enables them to support themselves and their…

This bill is designed to improve the cooperation between the military and state agencies to more closely align specialized military training with state licensing and certification requirements.

With the number of veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, we need to make every effort to help our returning military transition back to jobs in their local communities.

The veteran faces reduced chances of obtaining a job on par with his/her skills.

One of the best ways to honor the service of our veterans is to give them an opportunity to do the same job at home without the unnecessary burdens of additional redundant training.

They and their families deserve our respect and our gratitude, and we owe a debt to them for their service.

I was shocked and horrified like everybody else when I read in the Washington Post on December 7th that Dover Air Force Base Mortuary Affairs had been sending unidentified remains of soldiers to Prince George's County Landfill.

As an Army officer and veteran I believe in the warrior ethos which, you know, says never leave a fallen comrade behind.

Thank you, Congressman Stivers, for standing for your fallen brothers and choosing to be a voice when they have none.

They and their families deserve our respect and our gratitude, and we owe a debt to them for their service.

Those who have given their final measure of devotion in the service of our great Nation deserve a final resting place worthy of their dedication, commitment, and devotion.

I think this is an outrage and we have got to fix it permanently.
