I want to thank the Chair. It is great to work with you, Chairman Guthrie and Ranking Member Eshoo and Congressman Buddy Carter, to introduce this legislation that brings transparency to pharmacy benefit manager operations and lowers costs…

I am deeply concerned that work requirements--I know someone mentioned it before--in Medicaid will undo our progress.

Extending postpartum--Medicaid postpartum coverage to 1 year is part of our ongoing efforts to break down barriers to accessing care.

Picture a family who loses coverage and is unable to access care, preventative services, behavioral healthcare, necessary medications because of factors completely outside their control.

I am very concerned that recent analysis shows that the work requirement in a Medicaid program would jeopardize access to care for 21 million people.

Medicaid, as we know, is the single largest payer for mental health services in the U.S.

The Affordable Connectivity Program, or ACP, is established by the bipartisan Infrastructure Law to provide assistance to eligible households to help them afford internet services.

Through the bipartisan Infrastructure Law, Congress invested an historic $65 billion to build out our country's broadband infrastructure.

It's critical that Congress not only address the challenges to deploying broadband but also work to make these services more affordable.

Community Health Centers do play an essential role in combating addiction and mental health.

We clearly need to do more to make sure that we are taking care of families and meeting their critical healthcare needs.
