Bob Casey

We passed into law a provision that created ABLE Accounts, almost like the 529 accounts, for disability.

Thank you for having this hearing. We are grateful you are spotlighting the issues that are being raised at the hearing.

Well, thanks very much. We look forward to working with you on these issues.

We know that the SSI Restoration Act, Senator Brown's bill, which I am a cosponsor of, would also address this concern.

It's for this reason that we introduced a bill, the Medicare and Medicaid Dental, Vision, and Hearing Benefits Act.

Medicare is a promise. It's not just a program. It's a promise to Americans who have done so much for us.

I'll continue to fight to protect Medicare from cuts.

I'm talking about right now. Now, we go back in September and October to legislate on a larger bill...

That's an outrage. There's no reason why that should be the case going forward.

No person should have to choose between buying groceries and taking needed medications...

As Americans, we can and we must do better.

No senior and no person with a disability should have to miss out on a gathering with friends or loved ones.

That's why I support allowing Medicare to use its purchasing power to negotiate to bring down the cost of prescription drugs.

No one should be forced to choose between affording their medication and keeping the lights on.

Despite this promise, we know that many seniors, as well as people with disabilities, still have trouble affording care.

It would establish an interagency committee to review outbound transactions, not inbound, but outbound, by U.S. firms to nonmarket economies like China.

I wanted to start with an issue that Senator Cornyn and I worked on, especially in the lead-up to the most recent competition legislation.

Rarely can you get this kind of a consensus around something as substantial as this initiative is to begin to rebuild the country.

Probably the best way to describe Mike Enzi is he was a paragon of decency in a town where that is often in short supply.

Probably the best way to describe Mike Enzi is, he was a paragon of decency in a town where that quality is in short supply.

This legislation establishes a supplemental rule of origin for non-market economies like China that can ensure that countries like China cannot free ride on trade agreements.

I want to thank you, and thanks for your work on this and your scholarship in this area, as well as your service to the country.

Dr. Shierholz, in your testimony, you state that on average, a worker covered by a union contract earns 10.2 percent more in wages than a peer with similar education, occupation, and experience in a nonunionized workplace in the same…

I want to commend and salute the work of Senator Murray to lead the introduction of and work to pass the Pro Act.

How can we strengthen protections for workers when they are negotiating with their employer for the very first time?
