I emphasize it is imperative that we address the mental health crisis that is plaguing our society. We all agree here in the House on that. But we should do that by ensuring access to reliable, high-quality, and affordable mental health services, not by punishing employers with undue litigation for offering these benefits to our workers. I remain committed to finding solutions to combat the mental health problem in this country, especially for our youth. It is my hope that, in the future, as my chairman said, House Democrats will work in a bipartisan manner to address this crisis, rather than bringing damaging legislation such as H.R. 7780 to the floor. Mr. DeSAULNIER. Mr. Chair, I yield 2 minutes to the very distinguished gentleman from Connecticut (Mr. Courtney), who is a member of the Education and Labor Committee.
