None of the reasons that the FDA cites are due to pricing issues, and certainly none of them are related to 340(b).
According to probably the most comprehensive FDA study that we have, the leading cause of these drug shortages are quality problems during manufacturing.
And colleagues, America is not broke; so Republicans should stop saying it. Conservative pundits should stop spreading it, because this country isn't broke. Now, our government temporarily is and millions of American families are, but our…
We need to follow the Senate's lead in passing legislation that will pressure China to stop their unfair monetary policy. China's manipulation of their currency has cost us jobs in Connecticut and around the country. Our workers and…
Free trade deals are not an industrial policy. Unlike most industrial countries in the world, the United States is the only one that has no overall strategy for bringing back the 5 million manufacturing jobs that we've lost in the last…
This bill, at its foundation, has the idea that our Government and our State Department can do so much more to try to prevent the child trafficking and forced labor.
We could have been having a conversation about how we specifically take on the issue of forced abortion in China.
It saddens me to know that we have now sort of devolved into a government that legislates by Internet voting.
It strikes me, frankly, that this amendment is part of an assault that we have seen in this Congress on family planning and contraception.
The fact is, is that this country has a long history of combating irresponsible and reprehensible policies...
This amendment, which has as its genesis, the legislation offered by Carolyn Maloney, would encourage companies, through the State Department, to post on their Web site their policies for preventing forced labor, slavery, and human…
Now, I will certainly sell someone the Brooklyn Bridge if they believe that, by withdrawing funds from UNFPA...
There is not a single person on this panel that doesn't abhor and oppose the forced abortion policies...
I think it is probably a good idea for all of us to step back and wonder whether we should be crowing about the fact that an Internet vote leads us to this debate today.
I have a great idea. Let's pass the American Jobs Act. It cuts taxes, it invests in infrastructure, and most importantly, it helps small businesses be more competitive in the global economy. Economists of all political stripes tell us that…
I want to thank you, Senator, for paving the way for jobs and safety for Native communities.
if there is any way that we could get funding directly to the Tribes without going through all the other branches I think that we would have a better and safer place to live within our reservations and also create more jobs within our…
I would like to yield the balance of my time to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Rush).
My amendment before us today asks a simple question: Why should America shoulder new environmental risks to help power the economy of China? Many Members have come to the floor today to document the considerable ecological and public…
I join my friend from New Hampshire as one of the cosponsors of this amendment, and I urge House passage. Let me say at the outset that this is a terrible bill. This is the first time I have come to the House floor to speak on it. It goes…
I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 4, lines 18 through 23, amend paragraph (7) to read as follows: (7) Consultants employed by Canadian…
In the 5 years leading up to the economic collapse in 2008, 67 percent of the new wealth that was created in this Nation accumulated in the hands of the richest 1 percent. They now control about two-fifths of all the money in this Nation…
the Republican budget, which dramatically changes the Medicare program, and admittedly certainly takes cost out of it, but takes cost out of it by shifting the burden onto individuals, tripling the amount of out-of-pocket costs for senior…
Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Vermont is a beautiful place. So is Connecticut.
