I support Mr. Miller's amendment, which would require the Attorney General to issue interim final rules to implement this act 6 months after the date of enactment. Fentanyl-related substances will still be permanently placed in schedule I…
Again, we need to implement the HALT Fentanyl Act now. Any further delay, including the Biden administration slow- walking its implementation, is unacceptable. I again urge a ``no'' vote on this amendment, and I yield back the balance of…
This amendment will provide clarity that research conducted by the Department of Defense is included in the research registration process outlined in the bill. It also requires the Office of the Inspector General at the Department of…
I point out that this is fentanyl poisoning, and just because people use illicit drugs, they certainly don't deserve to die from it. Madam Chair, I rise in strong support of the HALT Fentanyl Act. In 2022, roughly 75,000 Americans died…
I strongly support the 340B program, but we certainly need more transparency.
one of my legislative priorities is to increase transparency and accountability in the 340B program.
Can we not agree that entities benefiting from the discounts need to show the American people what they are doing with the savings?
Starting in the mid-2000s, big hospital chains figured out how to supercharge the program.
My goal is to ensure that the Office of Attending Physician is one that all Members can respect without concern that its actions or advice are based on anything other than science and reason.
I want to reiterate, as a physician, I believe the vaccines are safe and effective, and I would hope that people can make the personal choice to get vaccinated. It should be just that, their personal choice, not the choice of the Federal…
This legislation is targeted to COVID-19, and has nothing to do with other diseases. Further, CDC does not have clear authority to mandate vaccination requirements. The order referenced in legislation is implementing a Presidential…
It is clear that the Biden administration has pushed its authorities past reasonable interpretation during the COVID- 19 pandemic. With everything from eviction moratoriums and student loan forgiveness to vaccine and mask mandates being…
I do find it fascinating that some of the same groups that support total conversion to electric vehicles are also the same groups that are working to block the mining of minerals such as cobalt and lithium.
What steps is SAMHSA taking to combat the possible diversion of buprenorphine?
Viral diseases like measles have been around for centuries. COVID-19 likely will also be persistent. So, when do my Democratic colleagues propose that this Federal mandate end? I propose that we pass this legislation and end it. Mr…
I just want to remind everyone that I am a physician, and I support vaccination. I just don't support the Federal Government mandating it. If local facilities want to mandate vaccination, that is up to them. I just don't believe the…
No one is endangered by this legislation. As I have said before, it doesn't prevent healthcare facilities from requiring a COVID vaccine for their employees. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Pfluger).
CMS mandates one vaccine, COVID-19. They don't mandate any other vaccines. That doesn't mean healthcare workers don't get the COVID-19 vaccine. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman from Washington (Mrs. Rodgers), the…
Thank you, Chairman Guthrie, for holding the hearing and drawing attention to this very important point we so often take for granted, that all life is precious and valuable.
I reiterate again that as a physician, I support vaccination for healthcare workers if they choose to do so or if their local medical facility says it is a requirement for them to be employed at that facility. I just don't support the…
I just want to remind everyone that CMS doesn't mandate any other vaccine, and this also doesn't preclude local hospital systems, local governments, or State governments from mandating a vaccine. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the…
May I inquire as to how much time remains on each side? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Indiana has 4\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from New Jersey has 7 minutes remaining.
The move was unprecedented. CMS does not impose such a mandate for any other vaccine. Furthermore, the vaccine, while effective at preventing severe disease and death, is not shown to totally prevent transmission of the virus. It was…
