I think the entire concept of QALYs is contrary to the American values that set our free society apart from socialist healthcare systems.
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.
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…
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).
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.
This is a battle between politics and science and physics, and I can tell you which one will win out.
I am against the rule and the underlying bill. It is a little Christmas tree of unnecessary earmarks, billions and billions of dollars of the American people's taxpayer money. But you know the one thing that is not in there? Full funding…
I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Madam Speaker, I rise today in opposition to H.R. 8296. First, I would like to say, as a physician, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle need to focus on what their bill really does. Stop…
The reality is, is this as a political vote for many of us. I'm going to vote my district. My district wants me to object to the states that get bicameral reject -- objections and that's how I'm going to vote. Do I like it? No.
I have a motion to recommit at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to recommit. The Clerk read as follows: Mr. Bucshon moves to recommit the bill H.R. 6833 to the Committee on Energy and Commerce. The…
We all share the same goal of lowering the cost of prescription drugs, especially insulin. But H.R. 6833 doesn't get to the actual factors that drive the pricing. The bill before us today is just another attempt by Democrats in Washington…
On that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 232, nays 193, not voting 6, as…
I grew up about 20 miles from Springfield, Illinois, and President Lincoln's boyhood home is in my congressional district in Spencer County, Indiana. President Lincoln's birthday is this Saturday, February 12, so I want to highlight some…
I am concerned about the drug pricing protocols in the Build Back Better Act, and they would have the opposite effect limiting research and hampering innovation, in my view.
Eliminating just one new drug is one drug too many. What if one of those new drugs is a cure for Alzheimer's, cancer, or ALS?
Just last month, here in this committee, I offered an amendment during the reconciliation markup that would have alleviated most of these looming cuts for one year.
By encouraging early and routine screening, doctors will be able to catch the disease in its early and treatable stage, saving countless lives.
Congress, I think, has a bad habit of looking at healthcare policies in a 10-year budget window, ignoring potential savings that accrue past the 10-year mark.
I think it is prudent for us, for the reasons I have explained, to look at these policies as they affect the entire lifespan of individuals.
The archbishop of San Francisco said, ``This proposed legislation is nothing short of child sacrifice.'' The inappropriately named Women's Health Protection Act of 2021 would codify the ability to obtain abortions for any reason at any…
I will just point out--I will just say that there are reliable information that people have been offered substantial separation packages.
I do believe this bill will increase the utilization of vaccines in the adult population.
