Political Quotes

“I have long called for Congress to take meaningful action to lower prescription drug costs by allowing the direct negotiation of prescription drug prices by Medicare. I am proud to cosponsor H.R. 3, the Lower Drug Costs Now Act, and I am pleased to see it includes my legislation, the Respond Now Act, as the basis for much needed funding to combat the opioid epidemic. H.R. 3 provides $10 billion in direct funding, including investments directly into our communities who are the front lines of this epidemic. I am also grateful to see that H.R. 3 includes funding to support children impacted by this crisis, so that they can access trauma- informed practices in schools. I thank the Speaker for the inclusion of this critical funding to help Granite State families and communities across this country. I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on the bill. ____________________”
