“I associate myself with the remarks of my colleagues about our commitment to Medicare and Medicaid – the pride we take in its introduction and becoming law 49 years ago. And I would continue the quote that Doris Matsui said about our seniors."

“We owe a sacred promise to the men and women who have served our nation in uniform: that just as the military leaves no one behind on the battlefield, we will leave no veteran behind when they come home. Our veterans were willing to give everything to serve our country and protect freedom around the world. Now, we must do everything we can to serve them."

“The humanitarian emergency along our southern border demands that we act in a way that honors our values as a nation, and respects the dignity of all people."

"It’s about having a soul. And the soul of our country is about respecting the dignity and worth of every person."

“The President is to be commended for his strong leadership in addressing Russia’s increasingly egregious conduct in eastern Ukraine. These tough sanctions send a stern message to President Putin that these aggressions and escalations will not go unanswered."

“You’re hidden heroes for what you do. There are millions of you out there. You are hidden heroes because some of the injuries you are treating are hidden as well. So it is my honor to be here with each and every one of you, and with two heroes of our own who have served their country so well...

“We must recognize the service and sacrifice of these hidden heroes, and ensure they have the support they need to manage the responsibility of their loved ones’ often intensive and intimate daily care."

“No veteran should be forced to wait for the health care or benefits they have earned."
