I think we would all agree that has been virtually nonexistent thus far.

The notion that the U.S. President is saying we want to take Iraqi oil will make them, if they take that seriously, a little bit skittish about us staying.

this bill has a complex backstory, but it serves a simple purpose--to allow a small daycare facility in Virginia to undertake routine repairs and maintenance. For more than 20 years, the Plains Area Day Care Center in Broadway, VA, has…

I am going to try to be very brief. I am rising to return to the topic of the effort of the CRA to roll back transparency in the oil and gas industry, and I will speak briefly. I know my colleague from Arizona is here and wants to speak…

I rise to speak on a special day. Today is my wife's birthday. Today is National Freedom Day, when we recognize President Lincoln's signing the 13th Amendment banning slavery. This is the reason we celebrate Black History Month in…

We should reduce uncertainty if at all possible?

I rise to speak concerning the nomination by President Trump of Rex Tillerson to be Secretary of State. I believe I am going to be speaking a little bit this afternoon and possibly later. This will just be part of my remarks this…

I actually think hearings like this, and we can use more of them, will be more likely to make improvements if we spend more time listening to stakeholders than listening to each other.

First and foremost, we need to ensure that consumers have quality coverage options as this market continues to face challenges and additional market uncertainty will likely exacerbate these challenges.

What we should pass is something that should meet those three promises that the President made: nobody loses coverage, nobody pays more, and nobody gets kicked around because they have a preexisting condition?

I hope President Trump, and my Republican colleagues, reverse course and stop pursuing the repeal of the affordable healthcare system.

Patients with pre-existing conditions, like Brice who I just talked about, will be denied care.

We would like to work with you as you Republicans begin to take a look at the Affordable Care Act and make changes in it.

The letter that you sent last night in response to ours was a positive one, encouraging us to work together.

I am kind of a certainty freak because I was a mayor and Governor, and I always felt like if I could be certain everybody would at least know what to adjust to, it is hard to adjust to an asterisk or a question mark.

Republican policies that are on the table will also cut Medicaid and defund Planned Parenthood.

But you get my point. They are saying to me, 'The President said he would not cut Medicaid.'

I hope we can all agree, stakeholders I hope we can all agree that a repeal without a replacement would be an emergency or worse.

We are telling people that we are not going to pull the rug out from under them, and if we do this too fast, we are, in fact, going to pull the rug out from under them.

none of us believe any law is perfect. Certainly not the ACA, and we would love to work on improvements.

Mr. Chairman, I think we need to make it clear to President Trump that we will not under any circumstances shut down the Federal Government and endanger the lives and economic well-being of millions of Americans.

Repealing the affordable healthcare plan with no plan to replace it will create chaos throughout our healthcare system.

A shutdown is the worst thing we could do to this country, and I cannot imagine why a President is promoting a shutdown.

Premiums will skyrocket by as much as 25 percent in the first year of repeal and 50 percent over the next 10 years.

The bill that was put up before the House, there were not meaningful hearings on the bill where experts could testify.
