But at the same time, we talk about voluntary compliance.

What works best for Oregon may not work best for California.

We all want patients to have access to high-quality, affordably priced health coverage.

Those are real savings for patients in my State.

Each of these eight active waivers were approved under the Obama administration's 1332 guidance.

Unfortunately, House Democrats repeatedly blocked our creative solutions.

We need to guarantee our healthcare system works better for all Americans.

Heaven forbid we release a child into the country that ends up in Atlanta, Georgia, during the Super Bowl, providing a service because they are a sex slave in this country.

We are not here to discuss how to end the crisis at our border by strengthening American security.

I would like for you to just walk through with me, please, give me a day in the life--

Let's separate that child and make sure that person is who they say they are, that there is a DNA test.

I would also try to get a grasp--I am from West Virginia. We are not seeing the influx or the problems that some of the other folks are, but we follow the media.

unless India reduces its emissions, the result will be a climate catastrophe regardless of anything the United States does.

if anyone thinks that decarbonizing America is going to save the planet, whether that is 10 years or 20 years from now, you are delusional.

I just hope that everyone on the panel will recognize that what we do here is, we are just part of a big system.

71 percent of Americans are satisfied with their employer-sponsored health insurance, which provides robust protections for individuals with preexisting conditions.

American action alone will not make the difference needed to impact global climate change.

I never argued--that the preexisting condition was a problem that should have been dealt with long before the ACA.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

I am disappointed that we are holding a passive hearing that doesn't move toward the development of any policies to improve healthcare for Americans.

Single-payer healthcare would be another failed attempt at a one-size-fits-all approach to healthcare.

I don't see anybody who would argue at this point that we shouldn't deal with people with preexisting conditions.

If you believe in Medicare for All, a single-payer, Government-run, 'one-size-fits-all' healthcare system, we should have a hearing on it right here in this subcommittee.

I just hope there's some language--something can be worked into your bill that takes care of the small refineries that gives them some protection as compared to the larger--the Marathons and the Mobils.

If we are trying to eliminate greenhouse gases, why isn't someone promoting a gasoline tax because it's proven time and time again that that's going to be the quickest way to eliminate greenhouse gases?
