The Medicaid per-cap cap ties the per-capita rate of growth of Medicaid at around the level of medical inflation.

And to my friends to the left, I will do everything I can to stop and put a stake in the heart of single-payer health care.

Premiums are growing at unsustainable rates; insurers are fleeing exchanges and dropping coverage, and patients across the country are in many cases down to a few, or in some cases zero options to purchase coverage.

We are going to send this money back to the States. You cannot spend it on roads and bridges; you have to spend it on health care.

My goal is to get the money and power out of Washington, closer to where people live so they will have a voice about the most important thing in their life.

is this a partisan approach to healthcare? I don't think so, if Missouri does better. There is a Democrat representing Missouri. There is a Republican representing Missouri. Here is the good news. We got the Republican on board. We…

Every question of his credibility, every time they change their story, it makes us not believe them in the future here.

let me just tell my colleagues where I am coming from. Under the current system--ObamaCare as we know it--the money to help people buy insurance and the money for Medicaid expansion, those two pools of money--here is what happens under…

the skinny bill is a replacement for Obamacare is a fraud.

The skinny bill as a policy is a disaster. The skinny bill as a replacement for Obamacare is a fraud. The skinny bill is a vehicle to getting conference to find a replacement. It is not a replacement in and of itself. Not only do we not…

We don't have it. It's like pornography. You'll know it when you see it.

I think anybody who is strong would use the power they have and be confident in their decision. So strong people say, I've decided that this man or woman can't serve me well and I'm going to act accordingly, and take the consequence. To…

With all due respect to President Trump, the answer is no. You don't take meetings from foreign governments to help you.

Let me ask you this: If I got a call from somebody saying the Russian government wants to help Lindsey Graham get reelected, they've got dirt on Lindsey Graham's opponent, should I take that meeting?

If you got a call from somebody saying the Russian government wants to help Lindsey Graham get reelected, they've got dirt on Lindsey Graham's opponent, should I take that meeting?

If you get a call from somebody suggesting that a foreign government wants to help you by disparaging your opponent, tell us all to call the FBI.

In light of the don junior e-mail and other allegations that this whole thing about Trump campaign and Russia is a witch hunt, is that a fair description of what we're all dealing with in America?

Hats off to this committee, the chairman, and ranking member.

Any time you are in a campaign and you get an offer from a foreign government to help your campaign, the answer is no.

If that isn't the dumbest idea that I've ever heard of, it's surely right up there in the top three.

It's not the dumbest idea I've ever heard, but it's pretty close.

Mr. President, your tweet was beneath the office and represents what is wrong with American politics not the greatness of America.

If you're on the fence, this score is not going to push you towards the bill.

I hope we can nip this idea in the bud. I hope it's one of those ideas in the President's budget that's just out there to stir up conversation. But it is a thoroughly awful idea, bad policy.
