I was unable to attend the vote series today due to a personal family matter. Had I been present, I would have voted YEA on Roll Call No. 121 and NO on Roll Call No. 122. ____________________

So I fully believe this committee has the responsibility to legislate in a way that allows our hospitals to deliver care while also lowering costs for American patients.
