We have to turn that around. It is a national security risk. It is a national health security risk.

We have to turn this ship around.

We need to do for pharmaceuticals, especially generics.

Even a proposal that I advanced that wouldn't have raised taxes but would simply have required the filing of a tax form for alimony payments and generated $2 billion to protect our children was rejected.

I remember being on the south lawn of the White House and hearing anecdotally about companies that were announcing bonuses and pay raises as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Cancer patients throughout the country are dependent on chemotherapy drugs for their lives. And now there is a nationwide shortage of two drugs that are the backbone of many cancer treatments.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for calling today's hearing, and thank you to the witnesses for appearing.
