The 340B program, a crucial player in our fight against opioids, does not cost a dime of taxpayers' money.

But in terms of doing something for all consumers of drugs, is there not something that can be done about these list prices?

I am very concerned about the skyrocketing costs of and the crushing burden of prescription drug prices.

Cutting the very insurance coverage that treats these people for ideological reasons... will not help us address the opioid epidemic.

These connections pose a serious risk with March Bell's new position at HHS.

Your rhetoric on the opioid epidemic is not matched by your actions.

I would hope so, because otherwise the least insured person is going to be the one that's going to pay that jacked-up price so that the pharmaceutical companies can continue to make their profits if we don't do it across the board.

I think it's completely unacceptable.

Tragically, Shane Patrick Boyle and Alec Raeshawn Smith both died because they could not afford the jacked-up price of insulin.

I am concerned that consolidation limits access to reproductive care, particularly for women, communities of color, and LGBT people.

I look forward to continuing our discussion about how NHTSA can work hard to stay with the curve, if not ahead of it.

In September, the House passed, and we have been talking a lot about it, the SELF DRIVE Act to promote the safe deployment of self-driving cars.

NHTSA continues to be without a Senate-confirmed Administrator. In fact, the President has not even announced a nominee.

Combating the epidemic is an all-hands-on-deck effort, and part of it includes examining drugged driving initiatives.

The opioid crisis is having a fatal impact in my district and every state across the country.

The FAST Act directed a rule that would ensure consumers are notified of recalls electronically, in addition to by email.

I think this cannot be shoved under the table as just another thing, since women are the majority of the population.

What effect do you think these mergers could have on access to full range of healthcare services?

I hope that will be part of the considerations when we look at the issue of consolidation

We are talking 2015.

Yes, but you know, it is 2 years overdue. I just want to make that point. We are talking about children.

For the past 2 years, traffic fatalities have increased, reversing years of progress.

I would quote Congressman Pallone in saying it is important to stay with the curve and not ahead of it.

Let me thank Mr. Scott and the Congressional Black Caucus for this Special Order. The Janus case is critically important to public employees, but, more importantly, to all the people who rely on public services that they provide. This is…

Most people presume that the prescription that the doctor writes for them, and they fill it, is safe and effective.
