this week, we are going to spend a lot of time discussing problems with our healthcare system. To do that, we need to understand just how we got here. Concerns about the rising healthcare costs are not new. In 2009, Democrats highlighted…

Senator Welch, first of all, I appreciate your acknowledging that we do want to work together. I would hope that you would acknowledge that we are working together to try to find solutions. This notion that the fact that we haven't had a…

I agree with my colleagues that tariffs should be more targeted to avoid harm to Americans.

In acknowledgement of National POW/MIA Recognition Day this September 19, 2025, I honor Idaho's and all of America's prisoners of war, POWs, and missing in action, MIA, as I extend my support and gratitude to their loved ones. In February…

President Trump and Secretary Kennedy have made a steadfast commitment to make America healthy again.

The fact is that I completely agree with the objective of my colleagues on the floor today that we need to get transparency in the prescription drug pricing system. Americans deserve a transparent, affordable, and accessible prescription…

Democrats contend that they want to increase and extend the child tax credit and ensure that big corporations and the ultrawealthy pay their fair share. Despite the rhetoric behind these claims, I remind my colleagues that Republicans…

First of all, it was said that the reason that we are going to increase the debt ceiling in the bill is because we are spending so much money and driving the deficit up. Well, first of all, our bill drives the deficit down, not up; and…

even with all that and all that we accomplish in this legislation, there are dozens of additional good ideas, smart policies, and commonsense reforms that we were not able to include today. I commit to working with my colleagues to advance…
