I strongly oppose H.R. 1157. I urge you not to advance this bill, and I yield back the remainder of my time.
I believe we need to stop debating this reality and start working on solutions.
I want to especially focus, as I did earlier in my remarks, on a program near and dear to my heart, the Early Detection Hearing and Intervention Act, to reauthorize this important program.
