We cannot sit idly by while our children cry out for help.

For the last 107 days President Biden and my democratic friends have ignored the science at the expense of our Nation's students, especially those with disabilities.

H.R. 19, the Lower Cost More Cares Act introduced last month by the republican Committee leaders is exact opposite of H.R. 3.

And again I want to thank all the witnesses for their testimony today.

Today over 100 million adults are vaccinated against COVID-19. This is a life saving scientific technological and logistical feat unheard of in the history of medicine.

If H.R. 3 were law before the pandemic, the speed and development of Moderna and Pfizer vaccines would likely not have been possible.

These claims are blatantly false.

I have a PBM accountability bill out right now that I want everybody to know about. It's H.R. 1829.

H.R. 19, the Lower Cost, More Cures Act, introduced last month by Republican committee leaders, is the exact opposite of H.R. 3, Pelosi's big government power grab.

Unfortunately, many Americans are facing skyrocketing health care costs because of dramatic increases in out-of-pocket costs of prescription drugs.

At the end of the day H.R. 3 would only lead to fewer treatments and cures, decrease competition in the marketplace, and increase reliance on Communist China.

I would ask the democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives to support Medicare for All, a government run single payer healthcare system that would cost 32 trillion dollars, and eliminate private insurance, including employer sponsored…

It increases our security risk enormously because all of a sudden if a country said OK we're pulling all of our investments out of the United States.

It's not sustainable. We've seen what it's done to other countries, and we see where our position is right now.

I mean two trillion. Now we're looking at another two trillion. I mean you know the taxpayer is going to get very tired of this.

One of the big issues in my district is workforce, and as I understand it, we still have about 10 million people on unemployment.

Every year that my constituents do not have internet service, they and their children are falling further behind in both economic and educational development.

I believe this is the most important hearing in our Committee in this Congress.

Well, most of the young people that I've talked to about their student loan debt have admitted to me that they had no idea of what they were getting into.

I believe that employers truly know that their employees are the most important factor in the success of their business, and they want to take care of them.

Yet the democrats are seeking to eliminate employer-sponsored healthcare through their socialist Medicare for all plan which would force millions of Americans into a one-size-fits-all government-run system, and cost more than 30 trillion…

This has opened my eyes a great deal to the complexity of this issue.

We should use every dollar wisely.

To help them right now employers propose focusing on telehealth.

The COVID-19 pandemic has completely disrupted many American's way of life.
