Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 4995, the Maternal Health Quality Improvement Act, which was introduced by Representatives Engel, Bucshon, Torres Small, Latta, Adams, and Stivers. The legislation authorizes grants for developing and sharing maternal health best practices and training health professionals. It also supports the Health Resources and Services Administration's establishment of rural health networks to reduce maternal and child mortality rates and reduce inequities in health outcomes amongst different populations. It also ensures obstetric care is an eligible service for telehealth grants. Madam Speaker, I want to thank the American Hospital Association, the March of Dimes, the American Medical Association, and others for their support of this legislation. Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bipartisan legislation, and I reserve the balance of my time.”
