Unfortunately, today's hearing, and these bills are not adequately addressing these goals. Why would our Democratic colleagues be opposed to States innovating on behalf of their citizens?

Why would our Democratic colleagues be opposed to States innovating on behalf of their citizens?

The Democrats' Medicare-for-all proposal would force over 150 million Americans to lose their employer- or their union-sponsored health insurance, and I think that is wrong.

We need to work together to help States stabilize health markets damaged by the ACA, cut out-of-pocket costs...

Republicans and Democrats actually agree on these key parameters of a free and open internet.

Heavy-handed, one-size-fits-all regulations hurt small internet service providers like Eastern Oregon Telecom the most.

This was your letter from 2010, and I look forward to reaching across the aisle to find a solution here that will give certainty to the market and protection to consumers.

Classifying broadband internet access as telecommunications services that are subject to the provision of Title II of the Communications Act may have far-reaching implications.

As a permanent legislative solution, we should make that our goal to produce in good faith what our colleagues have talked about all along.

The internet has been the single most important driver of economic growth, job creation, and better quality of life for Americans and people worldwide.

I don't know anybody up here that supported the separation policy, certainly not me.

I support keeping families together, and strongly believe that children should not be separated from their parents.

It is also why I led a bipartisan delegation of this committee down to McAllen, Texas in July to visit and tour part of the Southwest border.

I enjoyed working with you over the years on this subcommittee.

As Republicans we believe strongly in providing preexisting condition protection for all consumers.

I didn't mean to shake things up this morning, but asking for a hearing on Medicare for All was something I thought was appropriate.

When will we tackle the high cost of healthcare?

Unfortunately, House Democrats voted it down.

We fully support protecting Americans with preexisting conditions. We've said this repeatedly, we we've acted accordingly, and we mean it completely.

I do wish we were meeting to pass bipartisan legislation and protect Americans with preexisting health conditions...

I think we did 12 hearings in the last 2 years on grid adequacy, security.

The committee twice held hearings on the human effects of the wildfire smoke.

We streamlined some of the licensing there for hydro, which is an area where we get, you know, carbon-free renewable energy.

When it comes to climate change, Mr. Chairman, Republicans are focused on solutions.

Oregonians choke on smoke every summer from wildfires that burn across our poorly managed Federal forests.
