I thank Chairman Ryan for his leadership. Mr. Speaker, free trade is economic freedom. It is the freedom to buy and sell and compete around the world with as little government interference as possible. It is really one of the great…

I stand in strong support of H.R. 2570, the Strengthening Medicare Advantage through Innovation and Transparency for Seniors Act. This package is comprised of two policies, and I will let the sponsors, who have worked so hard, speak to…

This is a very good bill. It is a good improvement to Medicare Advantage, and it is really a case of Republicans and Democrats finding common ground and doing it in a way that helps seniors with their choices and really tailoring health…

Together, these two bipartisan and noncontroversial changes would unlock billions of foreign capital for job-creating investment here at home.

I am pleased to yield 2 minutes the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Bilirakis), one of the key authors of the legislation and one of the leaders of health care on the Energy and Commerce Committee.

I agree with the gentleman from New York that this is a bill that brings, really, a team of Republicans and Democrats together with their best ideas on how we can help improve Medicare for our seniors. This bill is titled ``Securing…

This Democrat proposal does violence to America's research infrastructure. It does violence to America's economy, and it does violence to the future of our economy and to the hope of young people. We will not stand for this. Vote ``no'' on…

I am proud to yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Dold), a new member of the Ways and Means Committee who comes from a research-driven State.
