I really hope that both parties will once again reject President Trump's budget proposal and continue to work together.

That would have an impact if the direct impact was cut, it would be hard for them to continue that.

This is a bill that has been subject to no hearings, no public debate, and no expert testimony.

since the first day of this administration, I have heard from women in my home State and nationwide who are fearful of what President Trump will do to their health and rights--from appointing a Supreme Court Justice who has made clear that…

this is not a healthcare bill, it's an attack on families' health and financial security.

It's a lot to assume that our States are going to pick up what's long been a Federal responsibility.

people across the country are really worried about the approach that's being taken.

it is not too late to dump this Trumpcare bill, it's not too late to make the right choices and work with us.

What are Republican leaders so ashamed of?

the budget proposes to cut research on infectious diseases by almost 24 percent.

I was troubled to see that the budget fails to explain why the Administration is proposing to eliminate the Fogarty International Center.

there is tremendous concern among the research community about President Trump's proposal to cap indirect costs.

What would a cut of almost $600 million or 23 percent mean for efforts to find more effective treatments for the 44 million Americans who suffer from mental illness?

you have the power to do something about it, not just to complain.

the budget proposes to cut drug abuse research by almost 20 percent or more than $200 million compared to this year's funding level.

This bill is going to be the same kind of Trumpcare bill that went in the House.

So it would be pretty devastating.

I want to thank all of my colleagues for their comments today on the damage TrumpCare would do. Democrats, patients, and families have been fighting back against TrumpCare and Republican efforts to jam it through Congress for months. I…

I ask unanimous consent to speak for 6 minutes. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

It seems to me the right thing would be to do is to ask for a request for this year for the shortfall.

And it has to be cleaned up. And if it doesn't clean up, it is going to leak into the Columbia River and will be a problem much bigger than it is now.

So you have created a huge hole for next year.

There's absolutely no cheap way to do this, and it has to get done.

Safety has to come first. And you can't just throw out decrees and consent decrees and legal obligations that are there.

I am very concerned about your budget for Medical Services. You are requesting barely a 1 percent increase.
