Bill Flores: “The bottom line is that hardworking American families are tired of…”

On the recordSeptember 12, 2017

The bottom line is that hardworking American families are tired of having unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats ignore congressional intent when implementing legislation such as the important TEST Act. We must send a message to CMS today. Now is the time to right this wrong. In the meantime, I ask my colleagues to support my amendment to cut CMS by 3\1/2\ percent, $120 million, and to increase research funding for pediatric cancer, for Alzheimer's, and for opioid treatment. This amendment is a win-win amendment for American healthcare. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.

There are no equitable opportunities for recovery for hardworking Americans if the power is out at work or if the lights out at home or school for our Nation's kids.
