Today's hearing focuses on Head Start, a program whose mission is to promote school readiness of young children from low-income families.

The return on investment by reduced incarceration, reduced teen pregnancy, reduced remedial education, those reduced costs are a lot more than the cost of the Head Start program.

I think we've heard a lot of very good testimony, and I want to thank our witnesses.

We must ensure that we are giving all children a chance to succeed.

We have, I think, a consensus that Head Start works, that the long-term benefits are there.

It is time to invest in these programs and ensure that we are giving ALL children the chance to succeed.

I want to thank Secretary Burwell for her efforts and her Department's hard work implementing the ACA.

I think is not looking at the positive effect that the Affordable Care Act has.

The passage of the Affordable Care Act has given millions of Americans access to health coverage, some for the first time in their lives.

Child care ought to be a national priority for America's children and to help grow our economy.

I think the other thing in terms of job creation as I said with the Medicaid numbers, what we see is increased jobs because of some of the changes.

We must invest in quality early learning programs because all children deserve to enter kindergarten with the building blocks to success.

I wanted to ask you a few questions about the Affordable Care Act.

I want to thank you for your Department's outreach efforts.

Budgeting requires making tough choices, and a budget is in fact a reflection of priorities.

I was pleased that the President's budget request was reflective of many important priorities such as protecting access to healthcare insurance for all Americans.

Can you say a word about what the Affordable Care Act does for people with insurance in terms of preexisting conditions and job lock?

It is past time for Congress to raise the sequester-level discretionary spending caps that are stunting the progress we can make as a nation.

Thank you, Secretary Burwell, for being with us today.
