I include in the Record an editorial from The Wall Street Journal titled, ``Tilting at Climate Windmills,'' which notes that the massive spending bill reduces global temperatures at the most by 0.28 degrees. [From the Wall Street Journal]…
This bill drives a massive build-out of unreliable wind and solar power, not nuclear, not natural gas, and not baseload power. I include in the Record a report from the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, the authority on…
I include in the Record a Bloomberg News story reporting how power costs are already forcing U.S. factories to shut down, featuring an aluminum mill in my district, in Hawesville, Kentucky. This underscores the risk to our Nation's…
On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 220, nays 207, not voting 4, as follows: [Roll No. 420] YEAS--220 Adams Aguilar Allred Auchincloss Axne…
I claim the time in opposition, even though I am not opposed to the bill. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the gentleman from Kentucky is recognized for 5 minutes. There was no objection.
As the chair of this committee, Mr. Upton made his signature issue the 21st Century Cures, and not just passing that which has changed people's lives already but being able to work with Ms. DeGette and all the others to say that this is…
I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, H.R. 7666 the Restoring Hope for Mental Health and Well- Being Act is a significant bill that will help support our mental health workforce, increase access to pediatric mental health…
The Chair of the subcommittee kind of went through what the amendment says. Another thing that we need to make sure is reinforced is that the amendment would ensure that agency and precious U.S. taxpayer dollars can never go to nondomestic…
I was incorrect. I said Mr. Bucshon. Dr. Bucshon; his words on healthcare are certainly very important to all of us. Mr. Speaker, I yield 4 minutes to the gentlewoman from Washington (Mrs. Rodgers), my good friend, the Republican leader of…
I am proud to be here today. I worked with my colleague, Diana DeGette. We had hearings on the cost of diabetes and on the supply chain, and we said this is something we can work on together. And we did work on it together. And most of…
I thank my friend from Louisiana for yielding. Madam Speaker, I rise today to address the rising number of drug overdoses. It is one of our greatest public health threats, and illicit fentanyl is the main driver. The class-wide ban of…
I am deeply concerned about the estimated loss of more than 100 new cures if Build Back Better is signed into law and hope this bill ultimately fails.
The bill punishes our innovators and undermines the significant strides of this committee.
This past year several indicators have shown the Biden administration is moving the country in the wrong direction.
Make no mistake. This is not a negotiation. This is government price setting.
However, we cannot talk about advancing healthcare innovation without addressing the harmful drug pricing provision the Democrats' reckless tax and spending spree bill that will ultimately restrict patients' access to timely care and lead…
Where we do not and we will never agree is on the idea that forcing companies to accept whatever price the government feels like paying for prescription medications is the correct way to lower the cost of prescription medications.
I want to mention how important it is for the Biden administration to keep crucial components of the Trump administration era.
Even the former Chair of the White House Counsel of Economic Advisors in the Obama administration is sounding alarm bells on inflation by stating that the Biden administration's officials are systematically underestimating inflation.
I will continue to press permanently scheduling fentanyl analogs and giving law enforcement the resources needed to fight back against the illicit trafficking of fentanyl.
The Biden administration's failure to address this problem at our southern border is driving increases in drug overdoses.
It is unfortunate that the Department of Defense--the Department of Justice can't be here today to explain this policy.
I oppose this government overreach on our healthcare heroes, although I am vaccinated and encourage people to do so if they so choose.
