SAINT PAUL, Minn. — Congresswoman Betty McCollum, Ranking Member of the U.S. House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, issued the following statement on Saturday morning:
Mr. Speaker, I rise to voice my opposition to H.R. 6703, the so-called Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act. This bill does nothing to address the health care affordability crisis and is full of tired, failed ideas from previous GOP efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the slate of permitting bills that the Republican majority has brought to the House Floor this week. These bills roll back vital protections that ensure our constituents have access to clean air and water, and have the opportunity to weigh in on projects that will affect the health of their selves, their families, and their community.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H. Con. Res. 61 and H. Con. Res. 64, war powers resolutions that direct President Trump to remove the U.S. military from hostilities in the Caribbean and against Venezuela unless explicitly authorized by Congress.
