“I do want to let Members know that in first hour there will be a special order, and I invite Members from the Republican and Democrat and Independent parties to join us tonight and talk about the issue of market access because I think that is one thing that most Members here in the House agree on, and that is, that Americans deserve to have world class prices for world class drugs. As the gentleman from Arkansas (Mr. Ross) was just saying, in the studies that he has done, in the studies that I have done, the studies that other Americans have done, that have been done by the press and other groups, they all come to the same conclusion; and that is that Americans pay by far and away the world's highest prices, even though we are the world's best customers. Later on tonight, we will be talking about that issue and whether or not there is a way that we, here in the House, can exercise the will of the people and get something done on that issue before we go home for the break.”
