“I would like to remind my colleague from the Rules Committee that, as I mentioned before, many of the Republicans plan on supporting the telehealth bill, although I think we missed the opportunity to have Republican input and have an improved bill.

But I think that what is happening now is the Democrats are truly trying to distract from the issues that are really facing our constituents. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.”
