We know that the Medicaid program is a very important safety net that provides the needed medical care to millions of kids.

I want to applaud our witnesses.

This committee takes seriously its oversight duties, and today we will give the Renewable Fuel Standard a much-needed review.

The superbug that doctors have been dreading just reached the U.S.

Today we focus on the latest regulatory overreach by the FCC to create a new privacy regime for broadband providers.

as my good friend and colleague Ms. DeGette said, through the GAIN Act of 2012 and the ADAPT Act, this committee has made a good number of strides to foster and encourage the development of new antibiotics that can fight the superbugs.

Well, thank you, Mr. Chairman. So today, we gather to discuss the U.S. public health response to antibiotic resistance...

Jobs, the economy, and public health all are very critical priorities for the American people. It is possible, in fact, to pursue policies that simultaneously protect all three of them. Today we have a balanced approach in the Ozone…

Pipeline safety is especially personal for me. Back in 2010, we experienced a bad spill just outside of my district in southwest Michigan that impacted the Kalamazoo River. Ask anyone who was directly affected. Seeing the aftermath…

I would like to wish the chairman a happy birthday. It has been nearly a decade since we last considered an energy package like this. In that time, a lot has changed. Continued innovation and discovery across the energy sector have brought…

The resolution specifies that EPA must protect trade secrets submitted to it for a renewable period of 10 years. The resolution also creates a new system to claim, substantiate and resubstantiate, review, and adjudicate requests for…

Today really does mark a milestone, a milestone for our majority, a milestone for this Congress, and a milestone for the American people, as we make great strides to update our Nation's chemical safety laws. Folks said it could not be…

The House Energy and Commerce Committee knows, better than I think just about any committee on the Hill, how important cybersecurity is.

We are holding this hearing to examine whether or not HHS has the opportunity, by embracing the reforms suggested in Mr. Long's and Ms. Matsui's bipartisan bill, not only to improve its own internal cybersecurity, but to become a leader in…

These reports show that, despite recent strides, CMS must stay vigilant to combat new and emerging threats to program integrity.

Today's hearing is an important exercise in Congressional oversight on a recently proposed rule from the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) on Part B drugs.

These tools are dramatic departures from how we approach prescription drugs access in this Nation and give the Federal Government far too much control over decisions that should be left between a doctor and their patient.

CMS would set payment rates for drugs they believe are therapeutically similar, despite which drug a patient needs.

There is bipartisan concern that this proposed Medicare drug experiment will threaten the care of our most vulnerable seniors in Michigan and throughout the country, and reduce access and availability of lifesaving drugs.

There was no input from patients or providers. In fact, this proposal threatens to disrupt many important Medicare models.

There are no easy answers when it comes to head trauma. It may take time for research to provide the concrete answers the public demands but that is not an excuse for inaction.

Every 12 minutes someone in the U.S. dies of a drug overdose. Abuse of prescription painkillers and heroin has impacted every single community. It is an epidemic. It doesn't have boundaries and doesn't discriminate. We have lost a lot of…

Today's hearing is an important discussion on what Congress can do to help Americans across the country access better care at a lower cost.

Protecting our most vulnerable patients with preexisting condition safeguards is just as much about helping them keep health coverage.

The health care system was turned upside down, promises were not kept, costs have gone up while quality has deteriorated.
