Let's get to work, Director Campos, on these issues so that we can start enacting serious proposals such as my workforce bill.

H.R. 1315 is in essence a jobs bill designed to train underserved groups, including women, minorities, veterans, unemployed energy workers, and returning citizens.

It is my hope that following this hearing, the minority side will finally accept my repeated offers to work with my office on this bill as we move it through the legislative process.

It is my hope that following today's hearing my Republican colleagues will finally agree to discuss actual substance with my office so we can move this much-needed bill forward.

I want to thank you, Madam Chairlady, and I certainly appreciate you and the ranking member having this hearing this morning, and I appreciate your longstanding leadership on all issues related to consumer protection.

You stated that people are dying because of Section 6(b). Those are your statements. Am I quoting you correctly?

My bill prohibits the practice of, quote, 'pay-for-delay,' end of quote, in which brand-name drug companies compensate generic drug manufacturers to delay the entry of cheaper drugs into the market.

I am proud to continue my fight to stop drug companies from rigging the system in order to take advantage of hardworking Americans.

The Protecting Consumer Access to Generic Drugs Act prohibits these Pay for Delay agreements outright.

No American should be forced to make the choice between paying their bills and buying their pills.

Someone with insurance should not have to worry about filing for bankruptcy or not having access to lifesaving treatment.

I want to thank you, Madam Chairman.
