H.R. 3 is an industry-killing proposal at a time when so many cures are on the horizon.
This is not an attitude we should be importing, and it flies in the face of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Any policy that will choke off investment in an entire industry--and an industry that is in the industry of making cures--is bad policy.
I had the opportunity to meet with a group of COVID long-haulers from Florida last week, and hearing from these patients confirmed my impression about the mysterious and lingering medical conditions that affect a number of COVID survivors…
I believe that price transparency throughout the healthcare system will empower patients to choose their care and ultimately lead to lower cost.
I am disappointed, however, that this LIFT Act lacks a bipartisan buy-in and, like the American Rescue Plan, lacks targeted allocation of funds.
I am particularly concerned with scams targeted towards veterans, seniors, and those living in rural communities like the ones I represent in Florida's 2nd congressional district.
As we pass one year from the date that the Trump administration declared a public health emergency, I would like to extend my sincere condolences to those who have lost loved ones to the virus.
The pace at which Pfizer and Moderna, J&J and others, who have developed their vaccines, is truly unprecedented, and I commend the administration's actions for the fastest vaccine development in history.

One that I will highlight are some segments of the organic industry who think it is wise to disparage non-organic production practices.
The organic industry can trust that they do have allies in both Under Secretary Ibach's and Deputy Administrator Jenny Tucker's offices.
This is one of the reasons I am proud that we were able to complete the Farm Bill of 2018.
It is imperative that Congress and USDA continue to work together to support farmers, ranchers, and consumers who seek out the organic seal.
The relocation of ERS and NIFA will strengthen the agencies in the long-term.
The farm bill reauthorized the Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Network, reestablishing an important program that will direct behavioral health resources to our farmers and ranchers who are in need.
I am also proud that we secured important priorities for land-grant universities, including a new program to fund long-deferred maintenance projects.
I am proud that the research title was an area that saw an increase in funding and several positive updates.
Of particular importance to my State of Florida, the Citrus Disease Research and Extension Program, was reauthorized and funded.
