May I inquire how much time I have remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman has 9 minutes remaining.

I have seen Medicare patients for more than 30 years. I have had individuals come in my office after I have operated on and cared for them in the hospital and apologized, flat out apologized for the lack of payment that we received from…

It is about access. Physicians want to see Medicare patients, but if you do not pay the bills, they can't keep the doors open. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Wenstrup), my good friend and a board-certified podiatric…

We are experiencing a doctor shortage, and it is going to get worse and worse, driving physicians out because they no longer are able to be paid for their services or forcing them into employment that destroys the historically great…

We submitted a bill, H.R. 6683, a couple weeks ago, and while ENC was able to keep the cut at 1.25 percent, we are actually desiring to not allow the cut at all. We are taking money from the Medicare Improvement Fund, which is what the…

As you can see, this is obviously a bipartisan issue. We care about our constituents, but we also care about the health of our constituents. Mr. Speaker, 10,000 Americans each day are added to the Medicare rolls. Again, with such a doctor…

It is the largest operating military installation in New England with the Groton Submarine Base, which is in my district, and they all have to figure out a way to co-exist, to make sure that we protect the biodiversity of Long Island Sound.

And, again, just to set the stage a little bit in terms of Connecticut's interest in this legislation, I represent the 2nd Congressional District, whose coastline extends basically from the Connecticut River to the Rhode Island border.

I want to thank again Congressman LaLota. We have worked together on this bill, and it is very bipartisan, two states, bicameral.

This time-sensitive, bipartisan bill would reauthorize the Long Island Sound Restoration and Stewardship Act.

But with Rosa's help, particularly, we have really gotten serious about efforts to clean up the Sound.

I am the lead Democratic sponsor on the Long Island Sound Restoration and Stewardship Reauthorization Act.

As we begin the second year of the 118th Congress, a Congress which unfortunately in its first year was one of the lowest and least productive Congresses in memory, only 31 bills, it is time for us to come together and identify measures…

I think we in the U.S. sort of tend to dismiss these issues out of hand because we haven't been bombed the way that Ukraine has been.

During rollcall Vote number 10 on H.J. Res. 98, I mistakenly recorded my vote as ``yea'' when I should have voted ``nay''. personal explanation

the weapons that we send to Ukraine aren't used in military parades. They don't sit in warehouses. They are used by the Ukrainians to fend off the brutal Russian invasion of that country. They are used by Ukraine to maintain that country's…

There is a double whammy here.

Well, the printing press never created anything. Ben Franklin ran a printing shop, and Ben Franklin would never have told us here that, 'Oh, it's not my fault. It's the printing press that did it.'
