“The Republicans in the House are all lined up to whine about an investigation that the majority of Americans want to see happen. While the President of the United States has the gall to compare this constitutional process to the horrific history of lynching in this country, House Democrats are busy working hard to safeguard the healthcare of Americans. H.R. 3 is a transformative piece of legislation, a historic step forward to finally control the extraordinarily high prices of the pharmaceutical companies. Negotiation is the most effective way to protect consumers from Big Pharma's predatory pricing practices, and the Congressional Budget Office said that at least $345 billion will be realized in savings when we pass this bill. Madam Speaker, 90 percent of Democrats, 87 percent of independents, and 80 percent of Republicans want this legislation. Get busy and help the American people. ____________________”
