Ron Kind

I appreciate the remarks of my friend from Chicago. He represents a large urban district. I represent a large rural district in Wisconsin. He may be a Bears fan, and I might be a Packers fan, but one thing we agree on is this a bill of…

I thank my friend for yielding me this time. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in opposition of the repeal of the Independent Payment Advisory Board. This is another classic example of a solution in search of a problem. Of all the things that we…

It was an initiative that the President was even interested in trying to address. Yet, again, nothing is being done. So this legislation is much ado about nothing because there is nothing pending. In fact, nothing would be pending…

I thank my friend from Massachusetts for yielding me the time. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to this rule because I rise in opposition to the underlying budget--a budget which is really a budget buster that could be before the full…

When we vacate that space, I think bad things happen for our country.

It would be a terrible idea for us to be withdrawing from South Korea.

Our rejection of trying to find a path forward with the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement will go down as one of the great strategic mistakes that we made as a country in the 21st century.

I think it is desperate that this Congress leans in now to try to get trade back on the rails.

I happen to believe our withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement will go down as one of the great strategic mistakes that we made in the 21st century.

I thank my friend from Massachusetts for yielding me this time. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the VETERAN Act, the legislation before us today, and I do so for a very simple reason: This merely codifies what is already existing law…

It is long past due for us to take a run at the Code, over 30 years, because it is antiquated, it is outdated, it is too complicated.

We face a truly historic day today in the United States Congress. For the first time in our Nation's history, we have a Congress working with an administration offering the American people a healthcare reform bill that, instead of reducing…

NSP firmly believes that Kind's bill, with arbitrary limits, means tests, and publication of contracts has absolutely no place in the business transaction of crop insurance.

Make no mistake, proposals like that introduced by Rep. Ron Kind are crafted to kill Federal crop insurance.

I definitely strongly disagree with them and will do everything I can to get that word out.

I would hate to see consumers get a rude awakening if we gave up our agricultural policies.

Sometimes these trade agreements are perceived as being done in the interest of the multinational, the Fortune 500 companies.

the unfinished work of making sure that our veterans, those who served our nation are receiving the care and the treatment that they have earned and that they deserve.

We are grateful for an opportunity to see everyone come together to turn such tragedy into something that has the potential to save so many lives in the future.

It is encouraging to see the Congressional delegation working together in honor of Jason, to ensure no other families go through what we had to endure.

I still think they are the best line of defense in all of this.

This proposal will go a long way towards ensuring that more small businesses can provide health coverage to their workers.

Helping small businesses thrive is an important way to grow our economy across the country.

The Affordable Care Act took an important step in addressing this problem.
