I want to commend the commission for the decision to lift the cap on the rural health telemedicine piece.

By far the most high-profile and controversial decision was the elimination of the FCC's net neutrality rules.

It is our duty to ensure the Commission's actions advance those goals and hold the Chairman and Commissioners accountable when the agency does not.

The rhetoric around these issues have become like watching the opening of an old television show, waiting to get to the main programming.

It is not too late to stand with the American people and restore net neutrality.

While I am pleased that the subcommittee has decided to conduct continued oversight of the Cures Act, there are several topics within the subcommittee's jurisdiction that also deserve hearings and oversight.

I want to thank our colleagues Diana DeGette and Fred Upton, without which the Cures Act would never have become law.

Last week, FDA announced the release of its biosimilar action plan, which strives to encourage more innovation and competition in the biologics market.

Many of those entities are a scam and do not offer actual treatment.

Anyone advertising treatment services must put the needs of the patient first.

Unfortunately, people with substance use disorder still face barriers to accessing treatment.

Some companies have looked at this devastating epidemic as an opportunity solely to make money.

Many of those entities are a scam, and do not offer actual treatment.

We need to do everything we can to help more Americans access this treatment.

To see people taking advantage of this crisis by preying on victims to make money is unconscionable.

The opioid epidemic continues to devastate families and communities around the Nation.

I don't believe it's true that the price goes up quickly right after and I don't believe that this is going to cost the government too much.

And, frankly, I think this administration's attempt to undo the Northeast reserve is reckless and that's why I introduced legislation to establish that reserve in statute.

Today we will be discussing bipartisan draft legislation on the future of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

It's a critical function of this committee to conduct oversight and ensure that the legislation we pass is working as intended.

The Republican majority are really not as troubled by this crisis as some of them claim to be.

I don't want to put words in your mouth, but it sounds like you would be willing to help but maybe no one at the Department is asking you to.

Do you think that SAMHSA as a leader of mental health care for our country should play a role in responding to this crisis at the border?

The Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act... was an important step towards repairing our country's broken mental health system.

I continue to have grave concerns about the children forcibly separated from their parents or guardians as a result of Trump administration's zero-tolerance policy.
