Woman, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Chairwoman, our amendment would provide an increase in funds for graduate medical education. Just today, the Commonwealth Fund rated my home State of Nevada as the 48th State, overall, for healthcare performance. We trail the vast majority of States in access, affordability, and use of preventive care. Preventable hospitalizations are up, and adults with a regular doctor are down. Our amendment would invest in graduate medical education slots, expanding access for Nevadans to get a primary care doctor or family physician. I am grateful for the help of Chairwoman DeLauro on this amendment, as well as Congresswoman Porter for cosponsoring it with me. Madam Chair, I urge all of my colleagues to support the amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.
