WASHINGTON – Congresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney (D-NY) released the following statement today after the House failed to muster the 2/3 majority needed to override the President’s veto of the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 (H.R. 976), legislation that would have provided 10 million children with health care coverage.
WASHINGTON – U.S. Reps. Carolyn B. Maloney (D-NY) and Nita Lowey (D-NY) today urged Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Michael Leavitt to restore access to affordable birth control and other brand name prescription drugs for college and low-income women (full text of the letter below). The Representatives’ concern stems from a provision of the Deficit Reduction Act (DRA) that went into effect earlier this year and inadvertently caused the price of many brand name prescription drugs - including birth control - to increase at “safety-net” health providers such as campus health centers and community clinics.
WASHINGTON, DC – Last week, the President signed into law comprehensive drug safety legislation that included a key provision authored by Congresswoman Maloney to require better warnings about the cancer risks associated with the use of tanning beds.
WASHINGTON, DC – Congresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney (D-Manhattan, Queens) backed bipartisan legislation that will provide health care to 268,000 low-income children in New York and 10 million low-income children throughout the country.

WASHINGTON, DC – The House and Senate this week passed comprehensive drug safety legislation that included a key provision authored by Congresswoman Maloney to require better warnings about the cancer risks associated with the use of tanning beds.
WASHINGTON, DC – Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) introduced the “Comprehensive Comparative Study of Vaccinated and Unvaccinated Populations Act of 2007” (H.R. 2832), legislation that would require the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to conduct a comprehensive comparative study of vaccinated and unvaccinated populations, which may resolve the controversy about the possible link between autism and mercury or other vaccine components (click here for text of the legislation).
