Medicaid is a critical program. I was a physician in my previous career. I am still a physician but now I am here.

I come to the floor today in support of the Restoring Americans' Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act of 2015. Before I came to Congress, I spent my career taking care of patients. As a physician, I want every American to have access to…

My constituents are complaining about the deductibles also.

I want everyone in our country to have access to quality, affordable health care.

The Medicaid program... doesn't reimburse providers at a level that many will accept.

I mean, to me this hearing is astounding, honestly. And I hate to admit but in the 4 1/2 years that I have been here, this is not the only Government agencies that we are hearing, testifying in front of a Congress saying they are…

How many people across the Government have been fired over this problem?

In Indiana, the medical device industry employs over 20,000 Hoosiers in over 300 medical device companies. These are good-paying jobs that pay 56 percent more than the average wage. As Indiana Governor Mike Pence recently put it in a…

Today is a great day for America's seniors. After years of flawed Medicare policy, we are finally creating a stable system that ensures Medicare patients will have access to their doctors. This new policy will move our Medicare system to…

90 years ago today, the deadliest tornado in U.S. history passed through the southwestern Indiana towns of Griffin, Owensville, and Princeton. Named the Great Tri-State Tornado, the deadly cyclone traveled three States and 219 miles over…
