I have no doubt that what you are doing, Jan, is more important than ever given the COVID crisis.

I am proud to have joined Chair Schakowsky in introducing the COVID-19 Price Gouging Prevention Act.

Tens of millions of people have lost their jobs. And the pandemic has also completely upended American life.

For our economy to boom again, we must address the liability uncertainty hanging over the head of every small business owner out there.

Let's get it done. With our bipartisan draft, no one else is better positioned to do this.

It has never been more important that we set a national standard.

If the point of targeted bills is that we want consumer protections during this crisis, why don't we find agreement on a broader bill now?

Frankly, partisan proposals have no chance of being signed into law.

This Administration has made it a priority to protect Americans during this health and economic crisis.

Today's hearing is long overdue. Day after day, our nation's tribal communities are suffering terrible health inequities...

Thank you, President Sharp, and thanks for all that NCAI does on a regular basis to inform us as Members of Congress of what needs to be done and what are the priorities for Indian Country.

Do you think that that broadband deployment as contemplated by the Moving Forward Act, would that help the Ute Tribe?

Today the committee is holding a hearing entitled 'Addressing the Urgent Needs of Our Tribal Communities.'

I am concerned, like you, that the lack of connectivity will put disadvantaged children further behind in their education.

The lack of reliable high speed internet means you are left out of healthcare services, education, employment opportunities, civic engagement.

I was expecting someone else, but they are not here. I am prepared to close. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker, I urge strong support of this en bloc amendment. I do think it will improve the already strong…

I thank Chairman DeFazio for all he has done with this Moving Forward Act, and I rise in strong support of this legislation. Mr. Speaker, there is no better way to jump-start our economy and create millions of good-paying jobs than to…

I urge my colleagues to vote against the Republican motion to recommit. This motion to recommit is a distraction, and it provides cover to the pharmaceutical industry to continue to raise prices, just as we have seen them do on thousands…

I neglected to mention that Ms. Craig is actually the prime sponsor of this legislation. I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from California (Mr. Ruiz), who is a member of the Energy and Commerce Committee and has long worked on the ACA…

We have these two important bills introduced by your cousin, Representative Joe Kennedy, and Representative Porter.

I know everyone keeps asking you about the promise of the Federal parity law which you sponsored.

Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, millions of Americans now have access to comprehensive health insurance plans that include mental health services.

This hearing is particularly timely as our Nation is simultaneously confronting a global health crisis, a severe economic downturn, and centuries of systemic racism.

Mental health is an essential part of our overall health and well-being.

Some of this disinformation was being promoted by President Trump himself.
