The pearl we are looking for is good solid legislation for consumers in the country.

We have to protect every American from a surprise medical bill.

I think that those are all big concerns and I want our subcommittee to tackle them.

I, largely, agree with President Trump's principles and I hope that Congress can come to a consensus.

The 'surprise' in a surprise bill is a shock--it should be called shock billing.

Which is one of the main reasons that Congress has to act.

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…

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 Scalise and I have agreed to a champion legislation to end blackouts by overhauling outdated regulations.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.

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

I stand ready to work with my colleagues to make sure these programs are extended and expanded.

My bill, H.R. 1220, The True Fees Act, simply requires that cable, phone, and internet providers include all fees in the prices they advertise to consumers.
