There is a lot of bipartisan support for the 21st Century Cures Act. I commend Chairman Upton, Ranking Member Pallone, Ranking Member DeGette, Ranking Member Gene Green, and so many others who worked hard on this legislation that will save lives by improving the access that Americans have to potentially lifesaving drugs and devices, helping to keep people healthy and independent and out of the hospital. I plan to support this legislation. I think we also all know that it is a starting point. We have additional work to do to make prescription drugs more affordable, to make the approval process more streamlined for both prescription drugs and medical devices, regenerative medicines safe, and, of course, funding levels for research. Mr. Speaker, I would like to inquire if there are any speakers remaining on the other side?
