Recent Activity
Mr. Chair, I rise in support of HR 5894, the Fiscal Year 2024 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies bill.
This is my first year as chair of this important Subcommittee and I'm proud to be able to support programs that touch the lives of every American.
Our nation remains mired in high inflation, which has only been worsened by the massive infusion of government spending, both during and immediately after the COVID pandemic.
I have said numerous times – inflation is a tax on every single American. Moreover, it is a tax borne disproportionately by low-income Americans. We cannot continue to make our constituents pay for our reckless DC beltway spending. At some point, we must stop the out-of-control spending spree we've seen over the past two years.
Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 5860, a bill that keeps the government open until November 17th.
While I would rather be here speaking on the floor about final appropriations bills, I want members to understand why passing this short-term funding bill today is so important.
First, I want to explain how we find ourselves in this situation.
Just nine months ago, when Republicans took back the Majority in the House, our commitment was to Regular Order for appropriations.
No more omnibus measures released in the dead of night. No more Christmas Eve votes on thousands of pages of text that Members of Congress had not read.
Unfortunately, there were a few stumbling blocks as we sought to change the process.
For example, the Administration's budget request was more than a month late. It then took months for the President to come to the table on the debt ceiling negotiations.
Good morning ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies. This morning we will consider a bill funding these agencies for Fiscal Year 2024. I am pleased to chair this Subcommittee and provide support for important programs that touch the lives of every American.
I don't pretend this is a perfect bill, no bill in Congress is ever a perfect bill.
But we live in difficult times, our nation remains mired in high inflation, which has only been worsened by the massive infusion of government spending, both during and immediately after the COVID pandemic.
I want to thank Chairman Aderholt for presenting the Fiscal Year 2024 Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education appropriations bill. I appreciate the work he has done on this bill.
The bill works to responsibly fund programs that help improve the health and lives of the American people.
It also holds agencies accountable when there has been a history of poor performance or controversial activities.
As we work toward the goal of reducing overall spending, I want to thank the Chairman for finding ways to best use limited resources to support our highest priorities.
Specifically, this bill continues to fund important programs that improve public health and safety, such as critical medical research and drug abuse prevention and treatment programs.
It also focuses on investments in education to develop our future workforce and remain competitive with the rest of the world.
WASHINGTON - Today, the House Appropriations Committee released the Fiscal Year 2024 bill for the Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Subcommittee. The bill will be considered tomorrow, July 14th at 10:00 a.m. The markup will be live-streamed and can be found on the Committee's website.
WASHINGTON – Today, the Full Committee met to consider the Fiscal Year 2024 subcommittee allocations. The measure was approved by the Committee with a vote of 33 to 27.
Good morning. I am pleased to welcome today the Administrator of the Health Resources and Services Administration to talk about the Provider Relief Fund and healthcare workforce issues in general.
The Provider Relief Fund was originally created in the CARES Act to reimburse health care providers for increased expenses or lost revenue as a result of COVID lockdowns and COVID treatments.
I think the original intent of the Fund was commendable. We wanted to maintain a robust, high-quality healthcare system in the face of a novel pandemic. We also needed to ensure that providers were able to continue care, despite the many challenges and unknowns posed by COVID.
