And the most productive.

H.R. 3891, introduced by Representatives Walberg and Welch will improve the authority of State Medicaid Fraud Control Units.

Banning these so-called 'gag clauses' has gained tremendous bipartisan support, with bills in both the Senate Finance and Senate HELP committees advancing without objection.

I call the Subcommittee on Health to order.

This legislation would broaden the authority of these units to investigate and prosecute abuse and neglect of Medicaid beneficiaries in non-institutional or other settings.

Mr. Guthrie and Ms. Dingell's bill, H.R. 5306 for example, will extend funding for the Money Follows the Person Demonstration Program (MFP demonstration) in Medicaid.

I hope that the committee will consider a deeper examination on the rising costs of prescription drugs.

I would like to commend Representative Buddy Carter of Georgia for his hard work on legislation to prohibit gag clauses in Medicare and private health insurance plans.

MFP has been a vital part, and that reinvestment of those dollars into the long-term care system continue to support providing community-based services.

I want to help. I want to make sure that those dollars are being used properly so we are not going after everybody, but we are only going to focus on the bad actors.

I come to the floor of the House today to talk about an issue that has been in the headlines a lot recently. Every month, more than 30,000 people come across our border, our southern border, without the benefit of a legal status. Now…

MACRA, which I championed through the 114th Congress, is the product of careful, intricate, bipartisan negotiations and passed both chambers of Congress with broad support.
