The budget math is fake, but the extreme agenda that would deprive millions of Americans of access to health care is not.

Secretary Price is the captain of the President's health-care team. He's been the top advocate for Trumpcare.

last month I stood here to express my serious concerns about the nomination of Scott Pruitt to lead the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. As the vote draws closer, I want to reiterate those concerns and give voice to the thousands of…

today I, along with 13 of my Senate colleagues, am introducing the Presidential Trade Transparency Act of 2017. This bill establishes new reporting requirements directing the President to disclose foreign income, assets, and liabilities…

I still have the welts on my back to show for it.

What troubles me about yesterday is, once again insurance companies are coming first and patients come later.

How is the government going to go about doing it?

I am just trying to get a sense of how you would approach some of these things.

Yesterday was good for insurance companies, and it was bad for patients.

I very much appreciate how this hearing has been handled by you. You have made it clear that Senators get to ask the questions that are important, and that is the best bipartisan tradition of the Finance Committee.

The first rule to come out of the agency... meant less coverage, higher premiums, and more out-of-pocket costs for working families.

these were not 'gotcha' questions. These were questions that were appropriate given the fact that, if confirmed, you are going to head an agency that is involved with a trillion dollars of spending and the health care of 100 million people…

And on virtual groups, what is your take on, let us say, the most important thing to make them work?

I've been in meetings, where we were talking about contractors and talking about implementing a program. And when it came to a vendor that we had a relationship with, I would recuse myself. I would get up and leave the meeting so that…

Privatizing Medicare is the wrong direction for people across the country who expect the program to be there for them in their later years.

today I, along with my colleagues Congressmen Chaffetz from Utah and Conyers from Michigan, am introducing the Geolocation Privacy and Surveillance Act, a bill that protects Americans from seeing their phones and other devices turned into…

I think Senator Murray has said it very well, and I want to pick up on what I think is really at stake with this nomination. In effect, if confirmed, Congressman Mulvaney would be the numbers guy for the Trump team, the architect for the…

whenever the discussion in the Senate turns to gun violence, we often hear Senators say: We shouldn't be talking about guns; we ought to be talking about mental health. That is exactly what we are trying to make sure is the focus of this…

Unfortunately, what I have seen since the beginning of the year has been basically about rolling back coverage.

(i)f any issue between HP and the State presented a conflict between the two, I recused myself from the process.

And what about the whole question of nominal risk?

If you had an individual who was making barely $12,000 who had the same kind of choice to make and chose not to pay their premium, they would be cut off from coverage for 6 months.

I listened carefully to my colleagues on the other side, and I want to make sure people really understand what this debate is all about. This debate is about background checks. It is about mental health. It is not about taking away…

there are communities across this country that are still waiting for the recovery from the great recession to show up. In many of those towns and cities, the storefronts are boarded up, the factories are shuttered, and, in what could be…

when you serve as the Secretary of Treasury, you are charged with a variety of responsibilities, and right at the center of your duties is to address taxes. This is an area that the nominee to head the Treasury Department, Mr. Steven…
