I've been particularly concerned about access to quality stroke care for our Nation's veterans, especially those veterans living in rural areas in Wisconsin.

I'd like to know if you would join me and my colleagues in calling on the Republicans to hold hearings here in the United States Senate.

There's a difference between intentions and plans and reality.

I still continue to be perplexed that your budget claims to fight the opioid epidemic while simultaneously proposing really drastic cuts to critical behavioral programs.

I will be first in line to help repair the ACA because we all know that there are things that need to be fixed.

The fact remains that nobody has had the opportunity to see what's being drafted by the Senate Republicans right now.

How can we justify giving the wealthy a tax cut while we take healthcare away from 23 million people?

Do you agree that this secret and closed-door process on this partisan bill is unfair to the American people?

If addressing opioids is a top priority for you and for this administration, how can you possibly back a plan that would take away coverage and increase costs for people struggling with addiction?

Please explain how you plan to combat the growing epidemic with these cuts, specifically the ones that I just outlined.

Do you agree that insurance companies should not be allowed to charge individuals struggling with addiction more for coverage because of their preexisting condition?

There have been zero public hearings, the text of the bill in the Senate has been kept secret, and not one Democrat has been asked for their input.
