I fully expect that my colleagues will bring different views and ideas forward in examining these bills to strengthen the 340B Program.
I want to commend Rep. Matsui for her leadership on H.R. 6071, the SERV Communities Act.
These types of bills are not about improving or strengthening the 340B. They are about gutting the program.
This bill would require 340B DSH hospitals that have an emergency department to establish a plan for getting victims of sexual assault access to a Sexual Assault Forensic Examiner facility.
I fully expect my colleagues will bring different views and ideas forward in examining these bills to improve the 340B program.
The Republicans delivered a one-two punch when they rolled back consumer broadband privacy rules and then repealed the net neutrality safeguards.
It's no wonder that states like California are stepping in to fill the void left by the repeal of these privacy rules.
