Mr. Speaker, it is important, I think, to come over here and discuss H.R. 1428, the Judicial Redress Act. Echoing a lot that has been said already, this is a great starting point for, really, a broader conversation about privacy rights and…

I thank all of my colleagues for coming here tonight. I am going to go back to where we started: Live your ``why.'' Live your ``why.'' That is all we are asking. Our independent pharmacists and our community pharmacists are just simply…

Thank you, Mr. Blum. I think what you have recognized are the struggles that are going on right now. And what I have found--I was speaking with a Member tonight from one of our Midwestern districts. It was on the floor as we were voting…

Well, Mr. Scott, I don't disagree with you. I thank you for being here. You have been a great champion to this cause as well. I think the interesting thing here--I want to repeat--basically, what we are going back to is some simple fixes…

It is baffling. That is why H.R. 244 simply says you have 7 days to update the list, number one. Number two, it says that patients will not be forced by PBMs to use a PBM-owned pharmacy, an obvious conflict of interest. And according to…

Mr. Speaker, I appreciate my friend from Georgia and his passionate defense of what we are doing here tonight. Earlier this month many of my colleagues and I sent a letter to CMS in support of proposed guidance to ensure part D plan…

Mr. Loebsack, you hit it right. There are so many times we get to talking policy and big picture up here. The bottom line is what we do up here--and when I was in the State legislature, you could see it because you were a little bit…

I thank my colleague. I do appreciate that. And that is the issue here: education. People can look in on this. They can hear what we are talking about. They can see this education part of it. This is found in every district. It is almost…
