We should continue to do that.

About 20 years ago I harnessed the power of the internet to launch a business to improve customer service.

The proposed legislation we consider today, however, goes beyond what has been a bipartisan agreement on this committee.

We need lower drug prices. I would like to see American ingenuity continue to be plied against these diseases.

Unfortunately, our bipartisan work on drug prices is too often hijacked and politicized by House leadership.

We've worked on and passed these bills that will save billions of dollars in drugs for patients.

The costs of prescription drugs are too high, and Montanans are struggling to pay for the medications that they need.

The only thing missing was the big top.

The Committee held its first hearing this week, and by all observers, it was a circus.

We need to do something about our patent system and making sure that drugs don't have a limitless monopoly to have competition.

I am working with Representative Schrader to help bring down biosimilars--more biosimilars to market and get them in the hands of patients.

We need to find commonsense solutions that make drugs less expensive, increase transparency where it is needed, and put patients first.

Skyrocketing costs of prescription drugs are making it more difficult for Montanans to prosper.

So making sure that folks actually submit and report that information, it is not onerous to do so

I signed on to the Broadband Data Improvement Act.

The inaccuracy of these maps show cell phone and broadband coverage in areas of Montana where we have no coverage.

Montana has the worst cell phone coverage of any State he has been to so far.

I know it would really help our state to have more--a more local LEND program.

Currently, Montana is one of only a handful of states without their own LEND training program.

I am a proud sponsor of the Autism CARES Act. I know funding for this program has been used to identify thousands of kids who otherwise may not have been diagnosed as on the spectrum.

Robust public health programs lead to future savings and better health outcomes for all.

It is imperative that we find common ground on these very bipartisan programs so that there are no lapses in funding.

We need to continue to work together and, Mr. Chairman, let's find bipartisan ways to get this infrastructure built, particularly as it relates to rural broadband.

As we look to rebuild and modernize our infrastructure, addressing the needs of our rural communities must be a priority.

We need to find common-sense solutions, and I look forward to finding those with my colleagues across the aisle, to make drugs less expensive, increase transparency where it is needed, and put patients first.
