This is a common-sense policy that deserves our bipartisan support.

If Congress passes H.R. 1624, premiums will be lower and millions of employees and employers by letting them keep the plan they have and like.

This bill would allow the States to continue defining the small group health insurance market as employers with 1 to 50 employees.

When we talk about abortion, we are talking about two lives--the life of the mother and the life of the unborn child.

Modern medicine treats the unborn child as a patient.

The real question for all of us is whether that tiny human life has a God-given right to be protected by the law.

I support efforts to amend the law and give States the discretion to exclude abortion providers from receiving taxpayer funding through Medicaid.

How ironic that pro-choice advocates oppose letting unborn babies choose life.

Abortion supporters cloak their support for abortion under the guise of women's right to choose.

I want to first commend Chairman Upton, Ranking Member Pallone, Congresswoman DeGette, and Ranking Member Gene Green of Texas for their outstanding support and leadership on this. Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong support of H.R. 6, the 21st…

I believe that Congress will be increasingly forced to take steps to modernize the Medicaid program.

At the end of this month, Medicaid will turn 50 years old.

Policymaking is about setting priorities and making choices.

This bill rightly recognizes our imminent need for a comprehensive national strategy to address prenatal opioid abuse and NAS.

These bipartisan bills that are the subject of today's hearing represent our ongoing effort to work together to strengthen public health.

I want to also thank Rep. Katherine Clark for her leadership on this critical and timely issue.

Today's hearing will examine three bipartisan public health bills to improve health care for newborns, infants and children.

H.R. 2820, the Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research Reauthorization Act, introduced by Representative Chris Smith of New Jersey and Doris Matsui of California...
