Richard Burr: “Twenty-one bills is simply too many for one hearing to thoroughly understand.”

I urge my colleagues, don't make this mistake. I know there is great pressure to do Build Back Better. But this is not the right bill.

Why did FDA agree, and why did the industry agree to longer review times of 128 days on 510(k)'s and provide the agency with so much more money?

The response was clear, FDA should be held accountable to its commitments.

I will continue to ask you for a plan until we get one, and I will continue to be a roadblock for those who believe that we can blindly just appropriate emergency money.
