I come back to the Cures Act because I think that there is a lot of opportunity for that to be a template for policymaking in this regard.

Anything we can do to try to make that process more predictable, to create bright lines, to use better tools to evaluate safety and effectiveness that could bring down the cost.

Having been there when you were in South Florida, I would say we made a big contribution to you too.

I would appreciate you expounding on that because there has been much conversation around the pricing.

Before Senator Rubio walks off the floor, having had the opportunity to listen to him over a number of years, he is eloquent. He is inspiring. Sometimes he is just dead wrong. Coach Martin will be staying at the University of South…

I know that in many ways, the African American community does not necessarily participate at high rates in drug testing.

I applaud the commitment to patient-focused drug development in PDUFA V.

Moving from $23,600 to about $47,000, according to some studies, would cost about a half-a-million jobs in the economy.

I certainly hope that you have already invested a lot of time contemplating what you would do as the next Secretary.

I think your answer, in many ways, reinforces the necessity of using those tools that are already in the market or ready to go to market as opposed to those that are still in the development stage, actually.

I appreciate the Senator's questions.

Thank you all on the panel for your dedication and your commitment to the welfare and the health of America and American citizens.

In short, we are missing some opportunities.

The reality of it is that there are a number of heirs property where you have small structures with folks who simply cannot afford--

I would love to hear your response to the need for us to coordinate with local officials to prevent and/or absorb some of the costs associated with those changes in zoning that have an impact on others.

Does that not reinforce the necessity--and the panel can discuss this, if you would like--for nationwide mapping and for it to be as clear and accurate as possible?

Another concern of mine is that everyone has talked about the importance of mitigation...

So many of them did not have flood insurance, and that is the real tragedy.

This is very concerning to me as we want the NFIP to be there not only for South Carolina but for States all across the Nation.

As a Senator in 2015, we had the 1,000-year flood in South Carolina that devastated so many families.
