I am honored to stand here today to express my gratitude to Chairman Burgess for his years of dedicated service to our country. Dr. Burgess has maintained an unwavering commitment to public service, and his steadfast leadership has been a guiding light for many. As both a skilled legislator and a respected physician, he has worked tirelessly to improve healthcare access and affordability. Blending his expertise with compassion, he has shaped policies that make a real difference in people's lives. During the debate on the Affordable Care Act, Congressman Burgess brought critical insights from his time before Congress. Given both of our backgrounds in health care prior to coming to Congress, I can tell you firsthand that his efforts to prioritize patient-centered care and strengthen our medical systems will leave a lasting legacy for future generations. Chairman Burgess has set a high standard for public service--one rooted in integrity, hard work, and a deep belief in the values that make our Nation strong. Madam Speaker, I would like to thank and congratulate Chairman Burgess for his 22-year career of dedicated public service. ____________________
