The subcommittee also oversees issues relating to medical education, private health insurance programs and subsidies delivered through the tax code, consumer-directed health savings tools and issues related to the quality of and access to care.

"No Amnesty. Secure the Border. Enforce the Rule of Law. Respect the Constitution."
While we are a nation of immigrants, we are also a nation of laws. These laws must be obeyed and enforced. For Congress to grant amnesty to 11 million people who broke our laws and came here illegally would be an affront to the millions more who choose to play by the rules and comply with our laws.
I have consistently argued against amnesty and for a solution that secures our border first.
