I have seen the price of insulin go up from about $40 a bottle to north of 300 now.

We are seeing eating disorders in elementary-age kids now, and I need you to expedite that process as much as possible.

It is like asking a chain smoker not to take the next cigarette. It is not going to happen.

I am particularly concerned about how social media generally and TikTok specifically is affecting our kids and teens.

Due to illness, I was unable to be present today. Had I been present, I would have voted: ``nay'' on rollcall No. 134, ``nay'' on rollcall No. 135, ``nay'' on rollcall No. 136, ``yea'' on rollcall No. 137, ``nay'' on rollcall No. 138, and…

I thank the ranking member for yielding. Mr. Chair, our healthcare workforce is stretched to capacity after having spent now 3 years on the front lines of the pandemic, and add to that recent spikes in RSV and flu. Our hospitals have been…

It is time to kind of rethink how we can streamline.

We need to make some pragmatic, necessary reforms, like faster timelines, in order to have a realistic shot of meeting these clean energy and emissions goals.

I am not suggesting in any way that we gut our bedrock environmental protection laws.

You can't have this conversation enough, and reminding teenagers... that could be the pill that ends your life.

The coroner recently reported that deaths from fentanyl overdose rose from 6 in 2021 to 20 in 2022.

Just months ago, in my hometown of Sammamish, a Seattle suburb, two parents of a toddler were buying, using, and dealing fentanyl.

In my State of Washington, like every other State, fentanyl has had profound and devastating impacts.

And I know that every one of us--and we have heard them today--every one of us has stories just like this from our own districts.

I think those are great points, and I will tell you, even as a pediatrician, it is challenging to have these conversations...

In conclusion, for 5 years now, FRS scheduling has been Federal policy, albeit temporary. I can't be more pleased about that and the big impact my small idea has had.

Our kids are dying because they have ingested a lethal dose of toxic opioids, not because Narcan isn't potent enough.

We are laser focused on the cartels that are pushing this drug into our country.

This is a nuanced question. And this--these are questions that should be left between doctors and patients and that the government really has no role making such a personal decision.

I would like to take a moment to honor some tremendous young athletes. The Eighth District had not one but two teams representing our State at the Little League World Series. The Issaquah All-Stars represented the northwest region at the…

I would like to share the story of Gunnery Sergeant Arthur Branson Summers, a U.S. marine killed in action in World War II. After 76 years, his body has returned home to his family members and has been laid to rest in East Wenatchee…

I am so excited to vote today for this climate and healthcare bill, and here is why: This bill is the answer to the questions that my constituents have been asking since day one. Here is what I am hearing: Dr. Schrier, you have diabetes…

I am thrilled to have worked with so many of my Republican colleagues on these bills to prevent wildfires. I encourage my colleagues to vote ``yes,'' and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the…

I would like to clarify that we already have provisions in place to prevent wildfires, to remove underbrush, and to thin our forests and make they are more resilient. The thing is that the earlier we can detect wildfires with appropriate…
