I regrettably missed three roll call votes. Had I been present I would have voted YEA on Roll Call No. 356 on S. 3249, YEA on Roll Call No. 357 on H.R. 1631, and YEA on Roll Call No. 358 on H.R. 8812. PERSONAL EXPLANATION
I am glad the budget includes finally closing the carried interest loophole, maybe the worst loophole in the entire tax code.
The testimony today should upset a lot of us, that science, research, and industry has come so far to create lifesaving medicines, yet gravely ill patients might be denied access because of shortages.
