My view on this is that we owe it to our servicemembers, anyone who is put in harm's way, to have the best possible equipment.

No? And why not?

This makes it difficult to conduct serious research on the therapeutic benefits of medical marijuana.

It is clear that making progress on the opioid crisis means putting resources into treating mental health disorders.

We all know that traumatic brain injury can have devastating, lifelong consequences for our servicemembers and our veterans, and I am grateful for the work you are doing in this area.

It is legal, but if drug companies have influence over which drugs these charities help patients buy, then under current law, it would be illegal.

We have to find ways to bring down the cost of prescription drugs and the National Academies recommends that the Federal Government negotiate prices directly with drug companies. I agree.

I support strengthening those disclosure rules. I have written legislative language to do it.

Frankly, it didn't even come close, and that's why today we're reintroducing the National Biomedical Research Act, which provides $50 billion in new funding for the NIH and for the FDA.

I am worried that splitting oversight of R&D from acquisition is going to make this problem even worse.

Cures also fell short in a really big way, and that's on funding.
