It is simply unacceptable that anyone in this country cannot access the very drug that their lives depend on all because of the price of insulin has gotten out of control.

It is a smoke-and-mirror system where we are continually increasing the list price of insulin.

The system is broken, and it has grown up in a way over time that people didn't anticipate.

I totally agree, isn't that a good thing that now people may be able to take one vial and not have to shoot up all the time because, you know, and the delivery system.

It is important that we collectively find a permanent solution that improves access to and affordability of medicines, such as insulin.

As the cochair of the Congressional Diabetes Caucus, this issue is personal with me.

I have a strong transparency bill that is going to hold you guys accountable and make you notify how you justify raising those prices.

our former colleague and now Governor Jared Polis has announced that he is not going to seek an exemption for that

I oppose any oil and gas development on the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge Coastal Plain and strongly recommend that Congress pass H.R. 1146.

Protection of the birthing and nursery grounds on the Coastal Plain is a human rights issue for the Gwich'in Nation.

The size of the caribou herds has increased under Obama administration protections, the lands have been managed as wilderness because of concerns over caribou herds.

Drilling there would cause lower birth rates and threaten migrations, risking everything we hold dear.

There is absolutely no need to open the Arctic Refuge to oil and gas drilling.

Oil and gas activities on the Coastal Plain is a direct attack on our ways of life and to our human rights.

The survival of the Gwich'in depends on the survival of this herd.

You consume. The average American consumes. And yet you ask us to bear the burden of mitigation so that you don't have to.

We are experiencing longer ice-free seasons, melting permafrost, and more coastal erosion, among other things.

It is unjust and unfair that we constantly have to advocate for our worth in relation to a caribou herd.

Congresswoman Degette clarified this best with the evidence she submitted to the hearing record of Nation-wide meetings hosted by Defenders of Wildlife and The Wilderness Society.

You must repeal the portion of the 2017 Tax Law that allowed for drilling in America's truly Last Frontier.

There was not one person who testified that wanted to open such a special place.

I think it is important to see a place when you are talking about legislating about that place.

I will tell you that it doesn't make sense, and we should protect the Arctic Refuge Coastal Plain, not hand it over to the highest corporate bidder.

Herd size is not dependent on politics, but rather where they are at in their natural cycle.

From 2008 until 2016 under the Obama administration that area was managed as a wilderness area.
