Markwayne Mullin

I would argue that the Overdose Prevention and Patient Safety Act does both.

I believe strikes the right balance of maintaining and strengthening patient protections, while allowing for the limited sharing of substance use disorder treatment records.

If I am a customer or a user of Facebook and I don't want that information to be shared, how do I keep that from happening?

As a business owner, I have a demographic that I go after, and I search advertisers that market to that demographic.

I just want to commend you on your ability to not just invent something but to see it through its growth.

It is not the State's obligation. The treaty was made with the Federal Government and it is not a handout.

The practice of requiring substance use disorder information to be any more private than information regarding chronic illness such as cancer or heart disease may itself be stigmatizing.

This is about patients. It is not about opinion or maybes.

It is completely illegal.

I want to dig in a little bit on some stuff that you have been saying. And I respect your opinion, but I have a problem with the fact that you are trying to push it off as facts.

The practice of requiring substance-use disorder information to be more private than information regarding other chronic illnesses, such as cancer or heart disease, in itself can be stigmatizing.

But there has to be a common area that's reached here, because I can tell you personally in our experience--and I am surrounded by other cattle owners--when we took away the ability to actually buy medicated feed, it actually cost the…

Well, as a cattle owner, which--you know, I don't think we could quite make a living off our cattle because I still think the fastest way to become a millionaire running cattle is start with two million--you will get to a million.

We are wanting to see this move forward, I mean, because under--I mean, as we know, underneath the idea, which passed in 2004, we've only seen, what, four different drugs that's actually been able to come out of it.

I am committed to working with you, and the industry is wanting to work with you.

I am proud to be the sponsor of the legislation to reauthorize the Animal Drug User Fee Act and its generic version.

I believe at that point we have a potential for a lot worse consequences for retailers, because you are going to have a hodgepodge, possibly, of rules and regulations that you are going to have to deal with.

We want to work with you on this. We want to get this solved.

Our task force is a very bipartisan task force, and we have left politics completely out of it.

The opioid epidemic has unproportionately hit Native Americans.

I was happy to see that HHS is setting aside $10 billion for the opioid and serious mental health issues.

Administrator Pruitt and his team have worked tirelessly to bring the EPA back to its core mission, protecting our environment in common sense ways.

I want to thank Mr. Pruitt for making himself available for today's hearing.

That is insulting to every professional athlete.

So when you make that broad statement, let's be narrow, because this is a hearing on the legislation, on H.R. 44.
