I am very concerned about the skyrocketing costs of and the crushing burden of prescription drug prices.
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.
The 340B program, a crucial player in our fight against opioids, does not cost a dime of taxpayers' money.
Cutting the very insurance coverage that treats these people for ideological reasons... will not help us address the opioid epidemic.
NHTSA continues to be without a Senate-confirmed Administrator. In fact, the President has not even announced a nominee.
The FAST Act directed a rule that would ensure consumers are notified of recalls electronically, in addition to by email.
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.
