The average American doesn't have a team of lawyers, nor could they afford it.

Every day Americans are forced to accept extremely complex, opaque, and one-sided terms of service to enjoy popular platforms that often market themselves as free.

To go even further, hidden in Snapchat's terms of service, you grant Snapchat and its affiliates an unrestricted, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable, and perpetual right and license to use the name, likeness, and voice of anyone featured…

Thank you, and that is why I am working with my UC colleagues that are Representatives Kelly, Butterfield, and Clark on a bill to improve inclusion in clinical trials.

Based on your testimony, you have extensive experience in community engagement efforts and providing traditionally underrepresented groups the opportunity to be heard on issues related to their health.

To do this successfully, Congress must address rising overdoses as the public health crisis that it is rather than a problem of not enough enforcement.

Yes. It definitely is an emergency situation.

I would like to, with the remaining time, just say thank you for all of us who are supporting 1667, the Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act.

This legislation would help train and support family members and other important, but unpaid, caregivers in their often unrecognized work caring for Alzheimer's patients.

Thank you for all that you do.

We are definitely talking about you, people who are holding down a full-time job, single moms. We are talking about you. That is who we are fighting for.

We have to do a better job of communicating the necessary appointments to safeguard their lives. As you said, there are people that die from dental disease and complications every day.

I want to thank all of my colleagues for the diligent effort that we have had in this discussion today.

And we must keep in mind that what we do on this legislation, these pieces of legislation, not only will honor those who have passed, but it will, more importantly, honor those that will live because we have given them the opportunity to…

This bipartisan bill will allow U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration, otherwise known as HRSA, to carry out a public education campaign to increase oral health literacy and awareness.

It is just so wonderful to see you. You are one of the kindest individuals to ever serve in this House.

We have a mismatch problem. And that means we have people looking for work, but they are not matching well with the jobs that are being offered today.

I just want to emphasize that we can't have a strong supply chain without the right workforce.

We need to right-size what we are teaching in our schools, how we are educating people, et cetera, for the jobs of today and tomorrow.

The providers of this service, it sounds to me as though they are gouging and they are actually welcoming a wild wild west scenario, where there is no standard to which they should comply.

We all might prefer competition, but competition does not solve this problem.

These issues are systemic, and the Federal--and federally funded Alzheimer's disease research centers tend to be in the wealthiest neighborhoods.

I appreciate this opportunity. Thank you to all the panelists for your expertise and your advice that you are informing us today.

I hope that we can pass this critical legislation that my good colleagues on both sides of the aisle have introduced.

Thank you so much for all of your expertise and your wonderful insight.
