My concerns are that buprenorphine can be effective if administered by properly educated and trained providers who counsel and educate the patient.
The last thing Congress should be doing, in my view as a physician, is limit and relax requirements for prescribing and dispensing narcotic drugs like buprenorphine, even when there is political pressure and sometimes social pressure to do…
I do, again, want to reiterate my concerns about lifting regulatory requirements on qualifications required to prescribe these medications for MAT and I think that they are there for a reason.
As a physician I do think that the physician community is becoming more and more aware of their prescribing habits.
In my opinion, that is exactly what H.R. 2482, the Mainstream Addiction Treatment Act does. It removes education requirements and limits making it easier to prescribe a medication known to be highly diverted and misused.
If the President of the United States comes out and incites a panic in the United States; it incites a worldwide panic.
We all want to keep our communities safe from chemicals that can pose a threat to the health of our constituents. However, we need to get the solution right and not settle on a one-size-fits-all approach. As currently written, the PFAS…
Well, because it has not been shown to be toxic. It has been approved by the FDA and shown to be safe for patient use. And we might not be able to use them in the future if it is declared toxic.

First off, I want to thank you for your recent proposal to reform Stark Law.
I was a heart surgeon before I was in Congress, and for me the key is patient access to affordable healthcare.
The U.S. Federal Government, potentially, in the negotiations could make policy decisions that are essentially medical decisions on who gets access and who doesn't based on cost.
if the Federal Government gets more into this space, which is being proposed in H.R. 3, is that you will indeed have financial decisions being made by different administrations that may very well limit access based on the Government's…
One of the risks of doing the wrong thing in the U.S. on drug pricing can, in my view, severely limit potential access to medication.
I would implore us to bring bipartisan bills passed unanimously out of this committee to bring down drug prices to the floor for a vote.
It is kind of clear to me, at least at the leadership level on the majority side, that there may not be much interest in actually getting something signed into law but to play politics primarily against the President.
It is an honor to rise today in support of H.R. 3245, the Restore the Harmony Way Bridge Act. The Harmony Way Bridge is a local landmark and was an engineering marvel when it opened in 1930. Throughout the 20th century, the bridge…
Impaired driving is an epidemic across our Nation that claims far too many lives each year.
