Michael Burgess: “I am well on the record about that in this committee.”

This is a national emergency. This is something we have got to address and save Americans, 200 every day.

I urge all my fellow colleagues to join me in supporting H.R. 766 and ensuring that we continue to prioritize preventive healthcare initiatives for the betterment of all Americans, and I reserve the balance of my time.

This has all been so moving and so lovely, but if anyone tuned in late tonight in C-SPAN, they probably thought I passed because it really did sound like a eulogy. I am still here, and I will continue to text and call and inform everyone…

I am pleased to yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Alford) for his comments.
