Michael Burgess: “I wish to be heard on the point of order. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Texas is recognized.”

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

I urge adoption of the amendment. It is important, with $31 trillion in national debt, that we be good stewards of taxpayer dollars. The gentleman is right. I have pursued this for a number of years, but it is because it is a noble cause…

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