I thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Kelly), my colleague, for cosponsoring this bipartisan amendment so that we can move our healthcare system into the 21st century, save money, and, most importantly, save lives. Madam Speaker, this amendment is supported by over 50 health groups, including the American Heart Association, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American College of Physicians, the American College of Surgeons, the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives, the Opioid Safety Alliance, and many others. Madam Speaker, last year, the House resoundingly passed this amendment to strike this ban. I urge my colleagues to once again pass this amendment. I urge the Senate to take proper action when we do, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1067, the previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Foster). The question is on the amendment. The amendment was agreed to. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. Amendment No. 334 Offered by Mr. Posey The SPEAKER pro tempore. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 334 printed in House Report 116-461.
