If there is anything upon which we should all agree it is that the patient should be held harmless.

I want to thank the witnesses. You have been patient.

One in 5 emergency department visits result in a surprise medical bill.

I would just like to make a few comments in closing because I don't have any more speakers and assert my right to close last. I think every good word that could be said about this legislation has already been stated, so I want to urge all…

These are programs that Congress has previously authorized, but most will expire on September 30th.

I stand ready to work with every colleague to make sure these programs are expanded and extended.

I am pleased to report that Mr. Scalise and I have agreed to a champion legislation to end blackouts by overhauling outdated regulations.

Thank you for your outstanding work. It is very hopeful, what you described to us.

I think today's hearing is not so much about choosing sides between broadcasters and cable. I think it is really about consumers who I think are losing out in the media market in two ways: blackouts and unexpected fees.

huge, huge kudos to Representative Susan Brooks, who was and is, I think, just the best partner I could ever have on a bipartisan basis.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for this very important bill. Thank you to all of the witnesses. You have given us--you have enlightened us, and I thank you for it.

I want to thank you and all of the mayors of our country for endorsing the legislation that I am carrying relative to municipalities being preempted.

I think it should be called the LIFT UP America Act because that is really what this is designed to do.

The Public Disclosure of Drug Discounts Act authored by Representatives Spanberger and Holding requires PBMs to report the discounts they negotiate with drug manufacturers.

Last week, I said we needed to examine the system from beginning to end because, in order to fix it, we have to understand all the parts of it first, and then act.

Today, we consider seven bipartisan bills that unmask the secrets and ensure that low-income seniors can afford their medications.

The SPIKE Act, proposed by Representatives Horsford and Reed, and the FAIR Drug Pricing Act, proposed by Representatives Jan Schakowsky and Francis Rooney require drug manufacturers to justify large spikes in drug prices.
