We should move to a system and that would be more fair.

I wonder whether the passage of the Affordable Care Act... might have led them to live healthier.

I would want it to be progressive with rates that would be higher as income goes up, but a system that would not advantage structuring your income as, you know, capital gains rather than salary.

I credit him and his colleagues with at least putting forward an idea.

I appear in a very timely way to make clear that our military will be paid if the House Republicans do not shut our government down. But in the off chance that they do, because of Democrats, in the last shutdown we had, we got a bill…

The article outlines that since 2010 Medicare spending has been significantly lower than expected.

the purpose of the exercise should be to extend Medicare solvency.

I do want to applaud the Chairman of this committee Senator Whitehouse for the bill that he introduced.

I would think that we could take advantage of the bipartisan standing ovation at President Biden's State of the Union to lock in an iron clad guarantee as we reform this, that there will not be benefit cuts.

I--I'm very much a believer that we ought to move to a system where income is income.

I wonder whether the passage of the Affordable Care Act and the extension of health insurance to working Americans in the millions who had never had insurance before, might have led them to live healthier and thus need less healthcare…

The absence of childcare means I find something, but I don't feel that comfortable with it.

Last month, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, his colleagues Senator Elizabeth Warren and Senator Tina Smith, along with 27 others, called for $16 billion in supplemental childcare funding.

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) says the proposed cuts from House Republicans are so severe that they would kill half a million jobs and reduce gross domestic product (GDP) growth by $138 billion next year alone.

I would probably say make childcare affordable.

My chief worry about the economy right now is the labor market.

There's estimates that suggest about 80,000 kids in Virginia could lose childcare spots if these funds expire.
