the current draft of the No Surprises Act, although well intended, in my view is not completely the right solution.
the liability of surprise out-of-network bills should not be on the patient.
But that said, I have strong concerns about some of the bills before us for consideration which do not include the Hyde Amendment protections--prolife protections that have been in funding bills, preventing government funding for abortions.
We need broadband infrastructure in rural Indiana. You can't have schools. You can't have economic investment.
I was unavoidably detained on May 17, 2019, in order to deliver the Commencement Address at the Concordia Seminary in Saint Louis, Missouri. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 215, ``yea'' on rollcall No. 216…
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 was proud to sponsor a bill last Congress that would introduce common-sense data collection for 340(b) entities previously facing no oversight.
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?
Based on your budget, would you agree that HRSA needs more authority to create clear and enforceful standards for the 340(b) program?
My constituents do need relief, but it is from the high deductibles and premiums created the ACA.
Do you think that we should have a minimum charity care level met across all hospital networks at the main hospital, but also within their network?
The result of this total government takeover of Americans' health care would place Washington bureaucrats, and not doctors and patients, completely in charge of the health care decisions of Americans.
Medicare for all would also authorize a government takeover of health care treatments by allowing the federal government to steal a company's intellectual property if the company and the federal government cannot come to an agreement on…
Medicare for all would establish a government-run, single-payer health care system that would completely upend the health care system as Americans know it today.
The only thing that Medicare for all would get us... is the health care decisions of Americans, centralizing them with Washington bureaucrats.
