Our work has also raised concerns regarding improper denials of Medicare covered services.

Program risks in Medicare and Medicaid can have huge impacts on enrollees and their access to necessary care.

Decades of HHS OIG enforcement and oversight proved the adage that fraudsters follow the money.

The most critical piece right now to ensure the appropriate vetting of sponsors is the overhaul of the ORR Portal.

There just seems to be an overarching responsibility to ensure that those children are, first and foremost, getting to school and are being kept safe.

We need to have a followup oversight hearing on this topic.

HHS is a vital agency with enormous responsibilities that touches the lives of every American

Electric cars and trucks offer an innovative solution. We want American companies and workers to win the race for the future.

It is especially important for this subcommittee to get to work on comprehensive privacy protections sooner rather than later.

Good leadership and good science are essential in preventing and responding to pandemics.

Democrats will not ignore bad-faith efforts to erode trust--trust in science, or impede the work of scientists defending the health and safety of the American people.
