Yesterday, my colleagues and I reintroduced The National Museum of the American Latino Act.

when it comes to the cost of doing business versus the life of a child, no comparison, in my opinion. Absolutely none.

We care about what can be done better. We care about making sure that we--there are sometimes winners and losers in the jobs that we do.

As a grandparent of two children, trust me, this Commission that was started in 1972 hopefully will protect my grandchildren much better than it protected me.

I am worried that if we do not start to address the barriers to biosimilar entry sooner than later patients will not be able to realize the benefits.

I hope that the Americans are watching because 1 out of every $5 in Americans' wallets somehow some way goes back into their healthcare needs.

Biosimilars hold the potential to help cut down these costs with marketed biosimilars being priced an average of 40 percent less than the biologic.

I was impressed to learn that Kaiser Permanente has taken such a leading stance on biosimilar utilization.

has HHS already instituted policies, protocols, and procedures to limit harm to children and their families during these separations?

I want to spend some time focusing on an administrative policy that shocked the nation in the not-so-distant past, the policy of separating children from their families.

I would, obviously, welcome the opportunity for HHS's child welfare professionals to provide advice and assistance to DHS.

HHS is better qualified with expertise to deal with children, especially when they are separated from their family.

I would obviously welcome the opportunity for HHS's child welfare professionals to provide advice and assistance to DHS.

Thank you, Secretary Azar. Welcome to the People's House, and thank you for coming today, for the opportunity to ask questions, and more importantly, to finally receive some of the answers in full view of the American public.

I think it is important and I thank you, Mr. Chairman, for us taking on this responsibility because when we don't do our job as a legislature then we leave the appointed officials to do the job.

One of the goals of this legislation is to codify the provision of the 2015 rules that forbears 700 regulations from applying to internet service providers.

My time has expired. Thank you, Madam Chair.

So that, hopefully, should these separations ever continue--and it is my understanding that some children are still separated from their parents--that we would at least expect that in the United States of America, with all the resources…

Since the ACA's passage I would like to remind America that 20 million Americans have gained coverage that otherwise didn't have it before then.

What is unfortunate is that this Trump administration has been actively undermining the law and attacking Americans' access to healthcare.

When you have diverse backgrounds and experiences among your employees, you spur innovation; you avoid creating bias into your products.

It's no secret that the tech industry has a diversity problem.

Reports show that companies with more diversity amongst senior executives were 33 percent more likely to see an increase in their bottom line.

Diversity is good for business.

We have a problematic culture in the tech industry when diversity is not only NOT prioritized--it's seen as a hinderance.
