I would hope that those who are interested in figuring out how many ordinary families are trying to figure out how to be able to pay for long-term care that we might look at how the wealthiest among us figure out how to pay lower taxes…

Thank you so much for telling me that because I think that would be good evidence for this legislation.

I think we ought to be looking ahead to and thinking about if there are threats to our country because of these kinds of new technologies.

So, there are definitely laws in place and regulations in place that make sure that this is done.

The relentless targeting of Planned Parenthood, the attack on women's health rights, and the disregard for facts have to stop.

The so-called investigation, what I believe it is, a witch hunt.

We have made such tremendous strides, and it would be wonderful if we could sit down and just fix the things that we could fix, make it even better.

I also wondered, in the brief time I have remaining, if you could just say what impact has Planned Parenthood had on access to reproductive health services.

So, you can verify that there is no ability to make a profit on the sale of fetal tissue?

There were so many falsehoods, really, in what my colleague across the aisle said. We have evidence in California, the city of New York, and Vermont that absolutely restaurants can comply. It is not about small businesses, about 20 or more…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Washington will be postponed. The Chair understands amendment No. 2 will not be offered…

I claim the time in opposition to the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Illinois is recognized for 5 minutes.

Can I inquire how much time I have remaining? The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Illinois has 16\1/2\ minutes remaining.

Hoverboards have come up a number of times. They were one of the most popular holiday gift this year. But unfortunately, we have been hearing more and more reports about hoverboards exploding and catching fire unexpectedly.

I appreciate the opportunity to highlight the successes of the Commission and to learn where even more progress can be made.

I was proud to author both of those improvements.

It was the product of broad bipartisan negotiation and it passed the House by a vote of 407 to nothing.

This subcommittee played a major role in the enactment of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act.

I believe the focus should always be on the Commission's impact in protecting consumers from harmful products.

The importance of Medicaid just simply can't be overstated.

The need to adequate payments to Medicaid providers is incredibly important in providing stability in our healthcare system.

We have a robust marketplace for biosimilars.

We need additional Federal authorities to combat this growing problem and that is why I introduced the Medicare Fair Drug Pricing Act which would require HHS to negotiate the price of biologics and sole-sourced drugs covered by Medicare…

The cost of these drugs, I want to focus on that because I think it is simply unaffordable for far too many people.

It is really exciting that in recent years that we have seen such breakthroughs in drugs entering the market that creates such hope for treatment or cure for illnesses of millions of Americans.
