Insulin is a particularly egregious example of what has happened with drug pricing in our country.

And that has moved it from being a medicine that is affordable and life-saving to unaffordable and life-threatening.

This is a really big deal. I want to, you know -- how do I communicate how much insulin is in a bottle. And I thought I would just bring one bottle out and show you it is tiny. There is two teaspoons that fit in a bottle of insulin.

what teeth does the commission have, what more can they do to help shipping, and what more can Congress do?

Legislation you are cosponsoring, Ocean Shippers Reform Act (H.R. 4996), is a step Congress can take now

the mandates do work, and--even though all the crying wolf about how we thought we were going to have thousands of police officers in Washington State who would leave their jobs, it ended up being 35.

I just wanted to state that in upcoming weeks I will be sending a letter to USDA with some questions about how we are going to implement this, and make sure we can actually get the food to our kids.

Since then, I have been in frequent communication with growers and exporters all around the 8th District.

For more than a year, these farmers have shared with me how pandemic conditions, but also the behavior, the really bad behavior, of foreign-owned shipping carriers, you could almost refer to them as a cartel, are hurting their industry.

It is a really big deal to make sure that our workforce stays healthy and can do their jobs.

I was wondering what teeth you think the Commission has, what more they can do to enforce rules, and in addition to the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2021, which I am proud to support, what else can Congress do to help?

They are threatening export markets, they are threatening relationships that have been built up over decades.
