The bills that we passed in a bipartisan way in our committee recently should pass the House, and pass the Senate, and be signed by the President.

I do think that it is important, when we look at any source of energy, we look at the entire lifecycle of that product.

It is important that members of Congress on both sides of the aisle work together and, with the Administration, find solutions to lower list prices and out-of-pocket costs while maintaining robust access to seniors, without penalizing…

I appreciate this opportunity for members to take a deeper look at the drug coverage offered to seniors under Medicare Part B and D.

MedPac is an important resource for Congress as we look to address challenging issues, such as Medicare's ability to provide adequate and affordable drug coverage to seniors.

We also have to make ways that people can't get around these things, if we decide to do it, as we should.

This is a critical problem, and I would agree that it is something that we probably have slowly tried to address, probably too slowly.

Based on your budget, would you agree that HRSA needs more authority to create clear and enforceful standards for the 340(b) program?

I was proud to sponsor a bill last Congress that would introduce common-sense data collection for 340(b) entities previously facing no oversight.

My constituents do need relief, but it is from the high deductibles and premiums created the ACA.

Could you also agree that we need to require all 340(b) covered entities to report savings achieved from the 340(b) program and their uses?
