I am a strong supporter of it. I think millions of people have coverage who did not have it before.
The Congressman calls for block-granting and capping Medicaid, which would shred a vital safety net for our most vulnerable.
The Price plan takes America back to the dark days when health care was for the healthy and the wealthy.
It sure looks like that tax world where there is one set of rules for the cops and the nurses and another set of rules for people who are well-connected.
It would give everybody in America the chance to get ahead. It would not just be stacked all in favor of the most well-to-do.
I feel very strongly about the tax system in America just being a broken, dysfunctional, rotting economic carcass.
I would hope that we would not see that kind of a bonanza, a giveaway, almost an unfettered giveaway, to the very, very wealthy.
I hope we can be more specific, because I think the American people need to know that when any deal is reached in this town as it relates to taxes, whether it is tax reform or whether it is something more limited, that the middle class…
I think you have repeatedly said that you want to provide middle-class tax cuts, is that correct?
If China began to manipulate its currency again, that you would recommend to the President that the government formally name China a currency manipulator?
When a country like China cheats on their currency, Pennsylvania loses jobs.
In fact, just permit me to say one more thing, Mr. Chairman. In terms of total modifications, it was really only 22,908.
Ultimately, OneWest extended over 100,000 loan modifications to delinquent borrowers.
The outrage in tax law is what is legal and that every member of the Senate has allowed it to stay legal.
In my view, if you look at our history, our Nation wanted to reward merit, not to perpetuate dynasties.
Will you commit to maintaining the protections that ensure that no child, no child is denied insurance coverage because of pre-existing conditions?
Women were discriminated against because they were women, just a remarkable stain on America that we allowed that to happen.
I think what a lot of people have forgotten about is that--and the Chairman had a chart earlier that outlined the categories of Americans that have health insurance by virtue of various programs.
Will you commit to maintaining the protections that ensure that victims of domestic violence will not be discriminated against when purchasing health insurance?
I believe all schools should be accountable to the parents and communities they serve.
