The bottom line is, we are all in this together, and we have to have--politics is about trying to find ways where the things that are common problems, we can come up with solutions that work for all of us.

We passed some--you know, Mr. Cummings, of course, has been a leader on trying to get the prices down for years, and it's starting to make a difference.

I want to talk about battery storage technology.

We have to stop this. And it is why Chairman Pallone and I are moving forward with legislation to protect patients.
