The Trump administration pretend that repeating the same questions is equivalent to getting results.

I look forward to working with Congress to explore ways that we can bring the negotiation strategies that are currently working in Medicare Part D into Part B.

I have said it is a policy straight from the pit of hell.

We will support this policy no matter what.

We share the view of working to ensure that individuals with preexisting conditions can have access to affordable health insurance.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the government negotiating that.

This needs to get fixed and needs to be the top priority for what you are focused on in terms of children and families right now.

This is obviously appalling what has happened. It is an American tragedy.

These protections, as millions of Americans know--because they let them sleep more soundly at night--are the law of the land.

The Trump administration said recently it was going to get out of the business of defending protections for Americans who have preexisting health conditions.

We will work on that and provide an ample record.

I hope you are giving that suspension agreement request and the accompanying data provided serious consideration.

The continued import of these dumped products in the U.S. not only endangers good-paying jobs in Pennsylvania but also puts at risk the last domestic producer of electrical steel, which is of significant national security importance.

And you mentioned at the outset of your answer about the--you said the stress on caregivers. I wanted to focus on that for a moment, when it comes to caregivers, the remarkable, heroic work that they do.

Well, I know you have been to a lot of those communities, if not every one, in our state that have both substantial health care needs as well as at least the potential for an access problem because of where they are.

We have got to make sure that no matter where a person lives that they have access to the treatment they need and the support that they need.

It affects every community and in some way or another almost every family.

I am proud that Pennsylvania is leading the charge with these initiatives and am looking forward to Secretary Osborne's testimony.

Last year I was pleased to join Chairman Collins in support of increased funding for research into finding a cure for Alzheimer's disease.

As our population ages, these numbers will only grow, which is why we must take action now.

I want to thank Chairman Collins for her leadership on this issue and for making sure that we had this hearing today.

The BOLD Alzheimer's Act, which I co-authored with Senator Cortez Masto, would create the public health infrastructure we need to combat Alzheimer's and preserve brain health.

End the policy. Not debate. Not have a policy discussion. End it.

I really appreciate what Senator Murray said at the beginning of her opening statement about the child separation policy.

I don't know of any American who wants to go back to those days when you could be denied coverage or treatment because of a preexisting condition.
