The increase in prescription opioids across the country has led to a spike in heroin use.

More Bronx residents die of drug overdoses... than any other New York City borough.

My district, like many other districts across the country, has been ravaged by the opioid epidemic.

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. We must provide the assistance that our territories need. We must fully fund Medicaid as the islands recover. We must eliminate disparities in the law that are holding back that recovery. We must stand…

We are about to give a beleaguered IRS, outmoded, ill-equipped, with few new people that are there, and these artificial constraints, we are about to give them more mandates.

I think what we need to be doing is a deeper dive on what Congress has done, engaged in political malpractice.

I hope we as a committee can use today's hearing to explore what steps HHS and CMS are taking to ensure we continue the progress we have been making to combat waste, fraud, and abuse in the Medicare program.

Regardless, I think, of party line, we can all agree that fraud is a serious crime.

There is no question that tax reform is overdue and that plans for a reform should do more for working class taxpayers.
