Together, we fought against and beat back powerful special interests and partisan extremists to deliver real results and meaningful reform for Central Jersey's middle-class families.  Not only were we able to ensure that this reform would be deficit neutral, it will even lower the debt by slowing the growth rate of health care costs.  And this was all done in an effort to bring about better, more-accessible, high-quality health care for all. rss@dailykos.com (Congressman Frank Pallone) CongressmanFrankPallone Health Care HealthCare HealthCareReform NJ-6 _905019 Fri, 24 Sep 2010 19:39:20 +0000 100 Days https://www.dailykos.com/story/2010/7/27/888158/-100-Days It’s been a busy 100 days for us in Congress.  From reigning in Wall Street excesses with comprehensive financial regulation reform to protecting and creating American jobs, we are working hard to fulfill the mandate given to President Obama and Congressional Democrats back in November of 2008. <a href="http://www.pallonefornewjersey.com/volunteer.php">But the next 100 days promise to be even busier.</a> rss@dailykos.com (Congressman Frank Pallone) 100 days 100days CongressmanFrankPallone FinancialRegulationReform General Election GeneralElection _888158 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 19:48:04 +0000 Lessons From Bhopal https://www.dailykos.com/story/2010/6/18/877227/-Lessons-From-Bhopal A rogue corporation’s negligence and greed leads to an industrial disaster, exposing their utter disdain for the rule of law, for the environment and for the people whose livelihoods – and lives – are destroyed by their actions.

This debate has focused on the needs of everyday Americans - those struggling beneath a mountain of debt from medical bills - forced into impossible decisions between filling a prescription bottle or stocking their refrigerator. rss@dailykos.com (Congressman Frank Pallone) CongressmanFrankPallone Health Care HealthCare NJ-6 TwitterTownhall _815236 Wed, 16 Dec 2009 17:39:49 +0000 Yesterday's Mammogram Hearing https://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/12/3/810432/-Yesterday-s-Mammogram-Hearing Cross Posted on <a href="http://www.bluejersey.com/diary/13690/yesterdays-mammogram-hearings">Blue Jersey</a> and <a href="http://www.pallonefornewjersey.com/Blog/index.php?p=131">PalloneForaHealthyNJ.com</a> Many of you have been following the recent controversy about the US Preventive Services Task Force's new breast cancer screening recommendations - in the news, at the watercooler and around the family dinner table. The implied suggestion that screening should start at age 50 rather than the previous recommendation of 40 is a legitimate cause for concern. rss@dailykos.com (Congressman Frank Pallone) CongressmanFrankPallone Energy&CommerceCommittee healtcare JohnDingell Mammograms SubcommitteeonHealth _810432 Thu, 03 Dec 2009 17:52:20 +0000 Learning By Listening: An Epilogue https://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/9/1/775164/-Learning-By-Listening-An-Epilogue <a href="http://www.bluejersey.com/diary/12412/learning-by-listening-an-epilogue">Cross Posted on Blue Jersey</a> <a href="http://www.app.com/article/20090826/OPINION01/908270310">We have all seen the news and read the reports about the disruptions and obstructionism taking place at town hall meetings all across the country.</a> However, this did not deter me from coming home from the legislative session in Washington to brief my constituents and neighbors, just as I have done the last 20 years as a member of the House of Representatives. rss@dailykos.com (Congressman Frank Pallone) CongressmanFrankPallone Health Care HealthCare NJ-6 RedBank Town Halls TownHalls _775164 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 14:28:09 +0000
