As a pharmacist for more than 30 years, I’ve seen how government-protected monopolies can drive up costs, stifle innovation, and ultimately leave patients paying the price.

As a pharmacist, I've seen insurance companies find every excuse in the book to avoid paying for the care patients actually need. My TRUTH in Coverage Act restores fairness, promotes transparency and ensures patients aren't left paying the…

Patients should never be abandoned after undergoing life-altering, harmful medical interventions once reality sets in.

It's outrageous that a health plan can cover sex-rejecting procedures but refuse to cover the restorative care patients need to address the harm they cause. That's not a fair deal for patients who want to restore healthy bodily function.

When someone is fighting for their life, the last thing they need is the government standing in their way.

The 340B program was created with good intentions to help vulnerable and underserved patients access care, but unfortunately, it has evolved into a massive, poorly supervised program with weak transparency and accountability safeguards.

As a lifelong pharmacist, I’ve seen firsthand how PBMs game the system. When the same corporate giant that sets reimbursement rates also owns the pharmacy collecting them, that’s not a free market—it’s a rigged one.

Thank you, Ranking Member Pallone. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Balderson).

This is really, really a simple concept. If you don't think the Federal Government should be changing the names of localities, especially with the opposition of locales, then support my amendment. This is Federal overreach plain and…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the spending reduction account), insert the following: Sec. ___. None of the…

I have a question as to why we even have a gender policy council when that authority should fall under the Department of Health and Human Services under Secretary Becerra. I think it is a redundancy that we do not need. Mr. Chairman, I…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Tennessee will be postponed. Amendment No. 16 Offered by Mr. Davidson The Acting CHAIR. It…

The last thing I heard is that we have a couple people who haven't paid taxes. Hunter Biden is one, and more than likely so is President Biden. The IRS should not be the agency that goes after criminals. That is an agency called the FBI…

I understand why the IRS criminal investigation agents carry weapons. I am looking at a 2019 report where it was reported that by the end of 2017 the IRS already had 4,487 guns and over 5 million rounds of ammunition. I don't know what…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 23, beginning on line 12, strike ``above the levels in the possession of the Internal Revenue Service…

I go back to my original statement. The Federal Government has no business renaming towns and erasing our history. That should be left to local and State entities to decide. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 193, after line 2, insert the following: Sec. 493. None of the funds made available by this Act shall…

I asked both HHS Secretary Becerra and CMS Administrator Brooks-LaSure ... to fix this situation.

Physicians are now being told by PBMs what they can and cannot prescribe for their patients.

PBMs have not cured one disease. They have not insured one American life, have they, or saved a life.

Would you commit to working with this committee to fix the statute or the rule so that racing parts manufacturers can afford to remain in the market?

I have a hard time understanding why the EPA insists on penalizing businesses.

I believe it is tremendously important that we establish a single national standard, really, before Chair Khan and her posse have the opportunity to go rogue and create more disastrous regulations, which they are prone to do.
