together that we will reach that North Star of every American, every American having good health insurance, not only access to it, but that they can afford it.

President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan earlier this month, he took another step toward that unfinished cause.

For years we had to be in a kind of defensive posture against the repeal efforts, and that made it hard for us to do that.

Over the past year, our country has really undergone profound changes because of COVID-19, and it has laid bare a glaring shortcoming that our Nation's public health infrastructure is outdated and unprepared for crisis.

Today's legislation invests over $36 billion to renovate and modernize public health departments, local hospitals, community health centers, the Indian Health Service, and the public health labs.

I'm proud to support H.R. 6, the American Dream and Promise Act to ensure that millions of young Americans can remain in the only country they've ever known and loved. The bill provides a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, young people…

H.R. 1, For the People Act, is one of the most important bills Congress can consider because it strengthens and reforms our democracy at a time in history when it is especially fragile. This sweeping legislation is divided into three…

the outfits that you just referred to, Mr. Chairman, are number crunchers only, so they don't take other things into consideration.

I wholeheartedly endorse and am enthusiastic about integrating telehealth and more modern modalities of care into the training of medical students and our residents.

It's time to make Medicare reimbursement for telehealth service permanent.

$7 billion, with a B. That is going to go a long way.

I am committed to working with my colleagues on ways to address infrastructures limitations for telehealth access.

I think this is one of the best hearings we have ever had.

Telehealth could help close that gap.
