Assuming the people of Kansas sent me here to save and protect Medicare and Social Security.

I look forward to the day when we have honest discussions in this Committee and our investigation powers to investigate our own out-of-control Federal bureaucracy that actually impacts the American people.

Specifically, who? Who is going to be making less money and who is going to have less power because of this merger?

A lot of this was done in the dark of the night, so to speak.

I do not see that this is prudent to the daily lives of American working families who are paying twice as much for groceries and gasoline than they were 2 years ago.

There are no individuals that will be losing because of this, financially.

Thank the Chairman for having this hearing as well.

Probably $5,000 or $10,000 a day, literally.

That is great. And by the way, we have some agriculture initiatives with food supplements, feed supplements that would also decrease a lot of those bacteria as well.

Specifically, who? Who is going to be making less money and who is going to have less power because of this merger?

What is it like to watch your patients die because you don't have the right antibiotic?

I am sure this question has been asked earlier. I have been in another committee.

When I think about life at this level, typically motivations are sex, money, or power.

She died from a resistant bacteria, from sepsis, a complication from a C-section.

Yes. When--I used to help run a hospital and you try to keep your formulary tight from a cost management standpoint.

We can build a resilient health care system designed with people at the very center--designed to take care of all Americans.

What is it like to watch your patients die because you don't have the right antibiotic?

Why are we not investigating those issues? Why are we not investigating the 90 percent of the counterfeits that come into this country are made in China, 90 percent of the fentanyl that comes into this country is made in China.

3 million Americans this year will get some type of an antimicrobial resistance superbug this year.

Every senior citizen I talked to in the State of Kansas... say groceries are up 20 percent. Gasoline prices went from $2.00 to $3.50 a gallon.

3 million Americans this year will get some type of an antimicrobial resistance superbug this year.

So to save Social Security it would be a good idea to stop paying people more to stay home than to go back to work.

Thank the Chairman for having this hearing as well.
