Telehealth can't replace all in-person business, and we need to ensure quality of care is still given by the provider no matter the setting.

I was very pleased that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the Trump administration and Congress worked together to make sure telehealth was accessible and available during the pandemic.

I've said before the 'genie is out of the bottle' concerning telehealth flexibilities and expansion, and I continue to believe this.

This week, we had a hero lie in honor in the dome of the United States Capitol. United States Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick gave his life to protect the U.S. Capitol, one of our greatest symbols of democracy. I had the opportunity…

I think we must fully evaluate our country's response efforts on what has worked and what lessons we have learned thus far during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Each of us have a choice to make--we can stay in our camps and focus on ideological battles or we can sit at the negotiating table and get work done that the American people expect us to do during these challenging times.

Over 441,000 people have died from the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, which is greater than the number of American servicemembers we lost in World War II.

I believe that oversight is a very important aspect of our response.

I thank the gentleman from Oklahoma for yielding. All of us just still are speechless about what happened last Wednesday. It is just amazing that it happened here, and I condemn it in the utmost words as a violent act against the Capitol…

I thank the ranking member for yielding. I appreciate working with the chairman and with everyone involved in this piece of legislation. I rise today to voice my support for H.R. 5668, the MODERN Labeling Act of 2020. This important bill…

I thank the gentleman very much for yielding. I am here tonight to honor Mr. Shimkus. I call him Mr. Shimkus because that is how a junior West Point cadet refers to a senior West Point cadet. One of the most insulting things I get here in…

I don't think it's inappropriate to call out any politician who suggests that that timeline should be modified to fit a political schedule.

We need to make sure that people can have confidence, when a safe and effective vaccine is approved by the FDA, it will be safe and effective.

Unfortunately, I have grave concerns that some are trying to score political points by irresponsibly criticizing the FDA and its vaccine review and approval process.

Why should the American people have confidence that this committee will provide unbiased recommendations regarding a COVID-19 vaccine...

Ultimately, it will be a vaccine that offers us the best chance to finally end this pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a tough challenge for our nation, but the incredible effort to develop safe, effective, and accessible COVID-19 vaccines gives me great hope.

I appreciate our bipartisan approach to this hearing and believe this hearing is a great example of how the Energy and Commerce Committee works.

The coronavirus outbreak has shown us the true strength of American technology.

My home State of Kentucky has been grappling with the tragic death of Breonna Taylor.

My own home State of Kentucky and city of Louisville is grappling with the tragic death of Breonna Taylor.

I thank the gentleman, my friend, for yielding. Madam Speaker, the PPP program came out with astonishing speed. The President and the Secretary implemented the legislation we passed, bipartisan, in astonishing speed, but there were…

As all of our colleagues came in yesterday and this morning and make an effort to get back, it was important that we were all home last week. I was home last week and got to talk to a barber, sole proprietor, has his own shop and had to…

Consumers should be able to clearly know what they are buying, who they're buying it from, and what is included in the price of the ticket.

Thank you, Chair DeGette, for holding this hearing.
