I have taken care hundreds of patients who have come in respiratory arrest from opioid overdose.

We need to do a better job on the ground coordinating with different agencies so that we can save more lives.

As you know, I have spent a lifetime trying to figure out how to provide care for underserved communities...

That is why, as a physician and a father, I oppose this legislation. We need less bureaucratic obstacles that get in the way of a doctor caring for their patients. We cannot interfere with a provider's ability to deliver the best care for…

I firmly believe that we need to see real progress, real change, and we are going to need to improve the diversity of those decision makers at the top.

This is obviously a critical program not only for the people and families I represent but millions of Americas who still lack access to broadband.

I urge the FCC to support Frontier's efforts to deploy broadband in my communities and to hold Frontier accountable to their commitments to closing the digital divide through their acceptance of Connect America Funding.

I urge the chairman and the Democratic leadership to expedite this process so that we can have a markup hearing as soon as possible.

Again, this bill today is a good bipartisan effort to put seniors above partisanship and solutions above ideology.

We need to rein in our out-of-control healthcare cost, no doubt about it. This is the primary reason why premiums, health insurances are going up.

I appreciate Dr. Roe's leadership on this issue. It has been an honor to work with him on this important legislation, which will help protect seniors' access to Medicare.

H.R. 849, the Protecting Seniors' Access to Medicare Act, which repeals the Independent Payment Advisory Board, or IPAB, is a terrific example of both sides working together to make commonsense changes to help patients and to help seniors.

First and foremost, cuts to Medicare should not be made by unelected appointees who are not accountable to the American people.

This is another band-aid approach to figuring out how can we make medications more affordable.

Why are drugs so expensive to begin with? That is the common sense question.

Medicaid expansion meant that millions of Americans with substance-use disorders now have access to health coverage

It's so devastating for me and for my patients that we're on the verge of repealing the Medicaid expansion

With TrumpCare 2.0, Republican leaders took a bad bill and made it worse. On top of causing at least 24 million more Americans to be uninsured, raising costs for middle class families, imposing an age tax on older Americans, and making…

Our Nation's healthcare system has been classified as a critical industry for almost 20 years, but still today we see cybersecurity breaches that expose millions of patient medical records to the highest bidder.

Respiratory illnesses caused by air pollutions are preventable if we have the proper safeguards in place.

Nationally, there are an estimated 9,330 deaths every year because of air pollution.

Air pollution exacerbates asthma; stunts lung development in children; increases risks for infections; increases risks of heart attacks, strokes, and even premature death.

I think tribal lands have for far too long have not had the resources directed, not only through the Mobility Fund, but through the other funds at the FCC.

I am outraged that Russian officials cheated, broken the rules, attacked the integrity of the Olympics to influence the outcome of the Olympics for their benefits.

If we don't start prioritizing correctly our funding to help patients and help real people with real problems...
