I applaud the President's ambitious proposal and look forward to working with the administration to achieve this bold benchmark.

I am committed to reauthorizing funding in a way that is best for the people who get Medicaid care in the territories.

Enough is enough. Our kids are in crisis.

These bills do not address program integrity, or getting better data on healthcare outcomes for those that are in the Medicaid program.

Another false claim is that the Trump administration did not contract for enough vaccines.

Let's be clear-school closures are having devastating effects on our children.

We should be coming together in a bipartisan way to modernize and improve Medicaid--especially for pregnant women and people with disabilities.

Dr. Fauci, you publicly stated that the Biden administration did not start from scratch.

School closures are having a devastating effect on our children.

I also strongly encourage the administration to pursue policies that get our teachers and children back in the classroom.

It is time our kids returned to the classroom. Schools remain closed because of fear and politics, not science.

President Biden should be LEADING to get our kids back in school.

Our kids are in crisis. Suicide risks are up. Overdoses are up. The mental-health-related visits are up.

This is disinformation.

We are witnessing a significant public health crisis in our children who are experiencing unprecedented mental and physical illness during this time. This would be mitigated, if not completely alleviated, by in-person schooling.

It needs to be amended. It needs to be updated. I agree. But I certainly would ask my Democratic colleagues to work in a bipartisan manner as Congressman Rush and I have done to modernize this law.

That's why I was pleased that earlier this year President Biden pledged to reopen schools by his 100th day in office.

Keeping schools closed, even partially closed, based on what we know now, is harming our children.

We can mitigate a lot of the harms and risks we are talking about today by not letting another day go by of school closures.

I believe this hearing can serve as an important alarm bell for safely reopening our schools.

The alternative is catastrophic.

The science is clear. Viral transmission is minimal in schools.

This is a human rights issue. Let's open the doors of our schools and let our kids learn and thrive again.

Keeping schools closed or even partially closed, based on what we know now, is harming our children.

President Biden promised trust and transparency when he took office, yet his EPA priorities remain a secret.
