"I am proud to name six strong champions of women, families and facts to stand up against the latest Republican assault on women's health," Leader Pelosi said. "Hard-working families deserve better than a taxpayer-funded Republican Select Committee fixated on dismantling women's health. As Republicans try to take affordable family planning and lifesaving preventive care away from millions of American women, Democrats will be in the room to fight for the truth."
"Once again, uninsured Americans in California and across the country will be able to visit the Health Insurance Marketplaces and enroll in quality, affordable coverage that fits them and their families. As we enter the Affordable Care Act's third Open Enrollment period, we see that this historic law continues to make real the dream of quality, affordable health coverage for millions of American families.
"Today, we have moved America forward: preserving the full faith and credit of the United States, and enacting a bipartisan budget that strengthens our national security, protects our seniors, creates jobs and invests in the future.
"The violent attack on Camp Hurriya deserves the world's condemnation. Today, the American people's thoughts are with the Camp's residents as they mourn their loved ones, recover from injuries, and continue to seek a safe future for their families following this unconscionable rocket attack.
"I endorse Secretary Kerry's statement calling on the Iraqi government to meet its obligations and take all necessary measures to protect the residents of Camp Hurriya.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, survivors, and loved ones of those affected by this act of terrorism. The American people remain dedicated to ensuring that the human rights of refugees are protected at Camp Hurriya and throughout the world."
