Bottom line is, look, we have an issue that the American people want us to resolve.

The biggest challenge is the limited availability of clinical training opportunities.

If people cannot access a primary care doctor, they may end up in an emergency room, which is the most expensive form of primary health care.

99 million primary, 70 million dental, 156 mental health, which everybody in this Committee knows is a horrendous crisis in America.

Study after study shows that disease prevention saves money.

By 2025, the United States will have a shortage of up to 450,000 nurses.

None other than our old friend Donald Trump, who I disagree with, needless to say, on everything, Trump told the Republicans, hey, you're crazy. You can't cut Social Security and Medicare.

Do you really want to cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid several years after Republicans gave huge tax breaks to the richest people and the largest corporations, and at a time when we have more income and wealth inequality than we…

The idea that under Trump, as you recall, we gave a trillion dollars in tax breaks to the very rich and large corporations and now Republicans are coming back and saying, oh, guess what, we're really worried about the deficit, the national…

I think once the American people understand what the Republican agenda is, I think they're going to retreat from that agenda.

You said today that President Biden is absolutely right to refuse to negotiate with Republicans over the debt ceiling.

You know, it's look, you have a guy who is a pathological liar, but he happens to be the former President of the United States and he has a right to express his views.

Two Democrats voted against us. That was a terrible, terrible vote. And I think what the Arizona Democratic Party did was exactly right.

People can disagree without being disagreeable, and certainly without talking about violence.

And what Republicans are saying is, it's Democratic spending that caused inflation. That's just not true.

Yes, the economy is very, very important and we cannot do as the Republicans wanted give massive tax breaks to the rich, cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. That is not a solution to the economic problems of the country.

This election is about the future of American democracy. It's about whether or not women can control their own bodies. It's about whether we deal with the existential threat of climate change, which threatens the wellbeing of our kids, and…

Yes, he is. Look when you have a former President who went around saying that the only way he could lose an election is if there was fraud, think about what an outrageous statement that is.

And then have the guts Anderson to take on those powerful corporate interests, whose greed, in my view is doing so much harm to working families throughout this country.

The Democrats simply abdicated and walked off the debate stage. They have allowed Republicans to do all the talking.

No support for universal health care, no support for taking on the prescription drug industry and lowering the cost of prescription drugs. So, this is an issue. I think we should engage on.

The Republican agenda for working class people is a total reactionary disaster. You have a party, which in the midst of a moment when the rich are getting much richer, you know what they want to do, they want to give massive tax breaks to…

I think maybe. Look, I happen to believe that a woman's right to control her own body is absolutely where we should be and that the Supreme Court decision was a total disaster. In the year 2022, we should not be telling women what they can…

I think there are some extreme right wing voters who are racists, who are sexists, who are homophobes, xenophobes. No, and I don't think you're going to ever get them.

Are you going to support a party that wants to give more tax breaks to the rich, cut social security and Medicare or Medicaid? Or are you going to support people who are prepared to stand up for working people?
