Your testimony notes the need to reauthorize the Special Diabetes Program because it is effective.

There is still almost 200,000 people in New Mexico that need insulin that don't get the cap.

You are not going to have to worry about getting that insulin to stay alive.

Thank you, Ms. Kronenberg.

I very much appreciate that and agree with that.

But Congress is probably going to have to take some action here, and I am hoping that Congress is willing to do so.

One thing I am very proud of is that New Mexico... recently moved to cap insulin at $25 for a 30-day supply.

I don't want to stifle research. But when we have something that can transform someone's life and save someone's life, there has got to be a better way for us to make this affordable.

fossil fuels are going to be with us as far as the eye can see.

the oil and gas industry is not struggling in the United States, and certainly that is not what is driving prices at the pump, as our colleagues across the aisle would like to have us believe.

I appreciate that I heard you say yes. That is important to me as we talk about future insulin prices.

I want to thank Ranking Member Thune for working with me on scheduling, on putting this together, as well.

We are doing a great job here of being energy independent.

When the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law passed and it did not include money through Rural Development for water and wastewater...

we know that we have to take climate action now, and it is our job to ensure that we create a more sustainable, a more just, and a more equitable future for our communities.
