All life is precious and valuable.

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 think the entire concept of QALYs is contrary to the American values that set our free society apart from socialist healthcare systems.

My constituents in southwest Indiana need access to reliable, affordable, environmentally sustainable energy.

I just don't see why the U.S. taxpayer should be funding EV charging stations across the country.

It is a great frustration of mine that Congress oftentimes doesn't properly incentivize and want to pay for preventive care.

I would like to thank Chair Pallone, Ranking Member McMorris Rodgers for holding this important hearing

I am a strong supporter of an all-of-the-above energy approach because it ensures reliability and affordability to the consumer.
