If you have a shortage of doxycycline, the price needs to go up.

If this body wants more American and closer-to-home production, reinstitute the Puerto Rico tax break.

I agree somewhat with Senator Blumenthal, the description of the problem is much easier than the actual availability of the answer.

If we do not fix our tax policy and incentivize manufacturing to actually be here rather than punishing people to do manufacturing here, ... we are in trouble.

When I ask people about how quickly can we get drugs out of China, ... they talk in decades, not in year.

We currently are one of the worst countries in the world for research and development (R&D), based on our current tax policy.

It cannot work worse than the pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) model that we currently have.

Veterans deserve better, and we should not be reliant on a supply chain that is that tenuous.

One of the proposals I have had is instead of only having 10 percent of the public allowed to have it legally, let everybody that has insurance, or does not have insurance, have an HSA.

The patient has to care. You have to connect the patient to the price.

If we had international competition it helps to keep our prices down, but it also would help to keep the supply up as well.

We just have to get government as much out of the way and allow more capitalism.

Every life is worthy of protection, born or unborn.

I do not know why there would be a good reason you could not share with this committee.

I get that, but there are probably not kids' names in the report; but thank you.

There are 85,000 children that HHS lost immediate contact with once they were placed in sponsorship.

These are the unaccompanied minors. The New York Times published this report that was pretty horrific about labor.

We would be glad to work with the administration. You will find bipartisan support to be able to deal with this.

We have had a new designation show up recently on documents that get brought over to our staff.

I think you need to have that in place because as Liza has indicated--and I have many examples that I can share with the Committee--the classification system has been repeatedly misused to conceal those very kinds of things.

I appreciate your engagement and your thoughtfulness on this.

I recently introduced the Quad Critical Minerals Partnership Act with Senators Warner, Cornyn, and King in order to make those investments alongside Japan, India, and Australia.

What are we doing actively right now to expand our input and trade relationships with those in the Abraham Accords?

I think you have heard bipartisan--we want to continue to stay engaged through the administration, to be able to work on free trade agreements.

I just have a hard time declaring suddenly a new definition of free trade agreement that does not have market access.
