Patty Murray

It is entirely unacceptable for the VA to put those people's interests before what is in the best interest of our veterans.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.

You are addressing the disproportion based on race in those requests on who takes it?

In the interest of public transparency in our education system, would you be willing to make those documents public?

I really do worry about too many children with disabilities suffering from low expectations.

I believe that Congress was very clear when we passed the bipartisan Every Student Succeeds Act that the Title IV Part A program was intended to be used for purposes like helping more children get access to mental health care or providing…

For over a year, I have raised concerns about Secretary DeVos' implementation of ESSA.

As Senator Murray said, it is hard work.

This is not what Congress intended when we passed the bipartisan Every Student Succeeds Act.

I hope the conversation doesn't stop there.

Transparency alone is absolutely not enough.

At every step, President Trump has moved healthcare in this country in the wrong direction.

Your work shows exactly why transparency is such an important tool for patients, for providers, and governments who are looking to lower healthcare costs and increase value and efficiency and quality.

President Trump has taken a reckless and haphazard approach to trade policy.

They have estimated their losses are already in the tens of millions of dollars for this year alone due to retaliatory tariffs.

They are already feeling the pain of Trump's reckless trade policies.

A lot of workers in my home state are at risk.

The damage done by the President's ill-conceived ideas could go much further than just the auto industry.

President Trump's escalating trade war is already hurting a lot of workers in our country.

But I want to thank all of our witnesses for being here today and for your insightfulness.

I am really concerned if we expand the use of skimpy junk insurance plans, hospitals and clinics are going to have to do more work to collect bills.

I hope that we can also work--make sure that we do not impose new paperwork burdens for our patients.

One of the problems with the Trump administration's sabotage of our healthcare system is the paperwork burden it will impose on patients and families.

Concerned that substantially expanding access to short-term, limited-duration insurance will negatively impact conditions in the individual health insurance market, exacerbating problems with access to affordable, comprehensive coverage.

Local communities across the country are still struggling to adapt and modernize in a 21st century economy.
