We pray for military families and their loved ones serving around the globe; but we also pray for ourselves that we may be worthy of their valor.

If we do not help our caregivers, what happens to our veterans?

I think people in both parties do.

Medicaid must be protected.

Well, I appreciate that, and I know you both understand others have had the same experience.

For the first time in 20 years, I can breathe.

You have millions of people without Medicaid coverage.

I do not know how that is benefiting many people when you rip away healthcare to 23 million people, which is the CBO number based upon the House bill.

A reduction of $834 billion in Federal outlays for Medicaid.

CBO says there will be 14 million fewer Medicaid enrollees.

Medicaid enrollment would be lower throughout the coming decade, culminating in 14 million fewer Medicaid enrollees by 2026.

If you are confirmed, do you commit to respond in a timely manner to all congressional inquiries and requests for information from members of Congress, including requests from members in the minority?

Would it be true to say you agree with the statement that I just made reference to...?

I hope you would remind him, and remind his team, that they have yet to respond.

I appreciate the statements by Chairman Hatch, Ranking Member Wyden, and Senator Grassley regarding the responsiveness--the duty to respond that Federal agencies have.
