I will certainly follow on the Healthy MOM's Act.

We certainly will consider it and we know that a lot more needs to be done with regard to mental health issues.

I do think it's a disgrace when we talk about maternal mortality and how we compare with other countries.

I would humbly suggest that some mechanism be built into the REACH Act to make sure its funds can be reallocated, if necessary.

Make no mistake that maternal health in this country is in crisis.

We should learn from that experience. Emergencies arise that cannot be predicted.

I was proud to see the Stopping Bad Robocalls Act, a bill that was introduced in this committee and which I co-sponsored, pass in the House yesterday.

It is abhorrent that some treatment centers and recovery housing operators engage in bad practices at the expense of vulnerable patients and residents.

I believe that as we defend the ACA, we must also work together to improve our healthcare system to achieve universal coverage.

This cannot be what Congress intended. And we should say so. Loudly.

I was proud to introduce H.R. 2909, the bipartisan and bicameral Promoting Grid Storage Act.

To best address the climate crisis, I'd urge this committee to unleash the nerds.

The American people have sent a message to Congress: take action on climate change.

This legislation will make the insular Medicaid programs more 'state-like' in other important ways.

I believe that as we defend the ACA we must also work together to improve our healthcare system to achieve universal coverage.

Nobody I talk to supports this administration's efforts in the courts to destroy the Affordable Care Act and rip insurance from millions of families.

The science is clear. Climate change will have increasingly devastating effects on our plant if we do not make significant changes to the way we live.

It really drives me crazy, and members have heard me say it many times in this committee, that we have these disparities between rural America and the rest of the country.

We certainly want to look at your proposal in the context of that.

This legislation places a fee on fossil fuels at the source, beginning at $15/metric ton of CO2 equivalent emissions.

We need to consider solutions and policies like federal support for research and development into renewable energy.

I urge all who are present to do just that.

It's time for Congress to turn the page and pass legislation to add regulation, impose some order, and stop bad actors who make a living by ripping regular people off.

Just last week, Billboard Magazine uncovered the latest scam perpetrated upon consumers.

The BOSS ACT makes one easy fix makes: bans last second fees and requires every seller advertise all fees up front.
