These are choices Americans simply should not have to make.

It is time for Congress to help make prescription drugs more affordable.

The committee begins the process of fulfilling our commitment to provide some much-needed relief to Americans struggling to pay for skyrocketing prescription drugs.

The Energy and Commerce Committee is one of the few--maybe the only one--that has complete, regular order.

I find it immensely troubling that they agency witnesses were not considered by the Democrats.

As Chairman of this Subcommittee, I never would have even thought about holding a hearing on seven bills that were not shared with nine days until the hearing, not to mention without the agency witnesses.

Generic drugs play a critical role in increasing access and reducing costs in our healthcare system.

One way to achieve this goal is to facilitate greater competition from generic and biosimilar manufacturers.

It is unacceptable and could, in fact, lead to greater illness and higher medical costs down the road.

The optimist wins the election.

In 2012, Superstorm Sandy brought devastation to my district in New Jersey. We were the hardest hit, if you will, by Sandy of any district in the tristate area.

The Trump Administration has taken a hatchet to every part of our healthcare system, undermining the Affordable Care Act, proposing to fundamentally restructure Medicaid and slashing Medicare.

The President's Budget reflects the priorities of an Administration, and I believe the priorities of this Administration are misdirected.

I just wanted to explore, Mr. Secretary, the lessons learned from the family separation policy to see if we can figure out what went wrong.

In declining to defend these protections in the Texas v. U.S. lawsuit, the Trump administration is seeking to, once again, subject tens of millions of Americans with preexisting conditions to the discrimination they faced before the ACA…

Last year, President Trump and Congressional Republicans passed a deficit-busting $2 trillion tax cut for the wealthy and corporations.

The Save the Internet Act will restore the meaningful net neutrality protections Americans want.

I hope that this level of non-cooperation doesn't continue moving forward with this Congress on these committees' informational requests.

Our patience is wearing thin. If Secretary Azar can't commit to providing us all the information we have requested, we are prepared to take additional steps to make sure that we get the information that we need to conduct this necessary…

It also continues the administration's illegal efforts to kick vulnerable Americans off Medicaid through work requirements, lock outs, and red tape.

These are severe and extreme healthcare cuts for hard-working middle-class families, seniors, and our most vulnerable.

The President's budget also continues the administration's assault on the millions of hard-working families that rely on Medicaid for health insurance.

In November, the American people rejected the vision for our country that this budget represents.

I think we need to be honest about the fact that when there are--when there is no net neutrality in place, even though it will be hard to detect at first, ISPs are going to slowly start to rise--like, prices will eventually start to rise.

So, you don't think that reinstating the rules under the Save the Internet Act would undermine network investment at all?
