HHS has a ways to go to regain the trust of the American people.

Americans want to know the answers to two simple questions: is my information secure if I use Healthcare.gov, and why should I believe the administration that it is?

We are all deeply troubled that the individuals who want to be in charge of America's healthcare system could not even predict accurately if the Web site would work.

The majority is very concerned about health insurance plans and very concerned about those people who have lost their plans. When this bill was originally marked up a couple of years ago in the Energy and Commerce Committee, repeatedly we…

I am concerned that weakening of equipment maintenance standards could have some severe consequences for patient safety.

Dan from Greensburg, Pennsylvania, wrote to me. He said: I am having very serious difficulties with the new health care. I called a place from the marketplace today inquiring about an affordable plan for my wife. I currently pay about $300…

I heard from one insurer in Pittsburgh that just cancelled 30,000 individual policies.

We will hear from some who say coal plants are closing because natural gas is cheaper. Not true.

the Administration giving up on clean coal reminds me of the editors of New York Times, who opined in 1903 after a failed attempt at flight by the Wright Brothers, that it would be one million to ten million years before man could fly.

I support a real commitment to investing in clean coal, but that's made exceedingly difficult under the president's budget.
