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.

This is a legal obligation, it's a moral obligation. And we can't just say, well, we're not going to do this.

So you have created a huge hole for next year.

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

To me, as the daughter of a World War II veteran whose mother stayed home to care for him when he was in a wheelchair, this is absolutely critical and it should go to all eras.

I am worried there are not enough resources allocated to this problem.

Democrats come to the floor this evening as a voice for the people we represent, to fight back against Republican plans to jam TrumpCare through this Senate, increase healthcare costs, and hurt families across the country. Republican…

it eliminates safety net programs like LIHEAP and the SSBG by more than $6 billion.

Secretary Price, you have denied that your budget includes severe cuts to Medicaid for millions of children, pregnant women, veterans, people with disabilities, and low-income seniors.

It's a yes-or-no answer. Do you...

The bottom line is that this administration's effort to undermine working families' access to health insurance either deliberately or through stunning incompetence is overwhelmingly clear.

I am deeply disturbed by this budget in terms of its impact on women.

Senate Republicans are doing everything they can to make sure it stays that way, and it's pretty clear why.

I think what we need to be talking about in terms of a health system is the constellation of reforms.

your budget proposals would deny preventive and primary care benefits to millions of women nationwide.

despite the still escalating crisis of opioid and heroin addiction, it cuts funding for prevention and treatment programs by $84 million.

Under your proposal in Washington State alone over 100,000 women are going to lose access to critical care.

Thank you. We'll all try and comply with that.

your budget proposes extending the children's health insurance program by 2 years, it includes draconian cuts to that program that would most certainly jeopardize healthcare for millions more children and families.

Under Trumpcare, people's healthcare costs, especially for seniors and those with preexisting conditions, would go way up.

Money spent to provide that education is a sound investment in our Nation's future.

I really believe that your budget is an assault on women's health.

It cuts vital medical research at the NIH by 21 percent.
