  1. The Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee hearing today will focus on the implementation of President Obama's health care law exchanges and Medicaid expansion. With less than 13 months until its full implementation, we intend to question administration officials about their lack of response to critical questions.
  2. I spoke today at the annual Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT meeting about the necessity of wide-spread adoption of health information technology. The benefits of electronic health records include reduced costs, increased efficiency, and most importantly, life-saving treatments for patients.

  3. Our national debt, already at $16 trillion, continues to explode. If Washington does not chart a new course, by 2016, it will balloon to $22 trillion dollars. Rather than reining in federal spending, President Obama requested unchecked authority to continuing borrowing money from China and offered no specifics on spending cuts or entitlement reforms. Republicans aren’t simply fighting for taxpayers today—we are fighting for the futures of our children and grandchildren.
  4. The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) Optimism Index plummeted 5.6 points, bottoming out at 87.5 last month. This is the weakest small business confidence reading since March 2010. NFIB chief economist asks: “Between the lo...
    oming ‘fiscal cliff,’ the promise of higher healthcare costs and the endless onslaught of new regulations, owners have found themselves in a state of pessimism. We are forced to ask: is this the new normal?”

  5. On the 71st anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack, we pay tribute to the 2,390 service members and 49 civilians who made the ultimate sacrifice. May we remember our courageous service members and veterans today and every day. In the words of President Reagan, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.” God bless the men and women who have fought, and continue to fight, to preserve it.
  6. Despite President Obama’s promise to cut our debt in half, he’s doubled down on his policy of out-of-control spending, bloated government, and refusal to address entitlement reforms. With $16 trillion in national debt and Medicare and Social Security on the brink of insolvency, we must act now to safeguard these programs for our children and grandchildren. The fiscal cliff can be averted—without raising taxes—through pro-growth reform and without compromising our principles.
  7. Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI), today named Rep. Phil Gingrey, M.D., (R-GA), Vice Chair of the Environment and the Economy Subcommittee. The subcommittee is led by Chairman John Shimkus (R-IL).
  8. Today I spoke in support of H.R. 6374, which designates the Department of Veterans Affairs Carroll County facility the Trinka Davis Veterans Village. The facility will serve 3,000 veterans and allow them to receive first class treatment clo...
    ser to home. Trinka selflessly served our country’s heroes and upon her death left her entire estate to ensure their well-being. It was my honor to recognize Trinka Davis, her foundation, and our veterans today.

  9. Washington has a spending problem, not a revenue problem, and I continue to support the pledge I signed. The fiscal cliff can be averted—without raising taxes—through pro-growth reform and without compromising our principles.
  10. As we gather this Thanksgiving to celebrate with friends and family, let us remember those serving overseas and their loved ones back home. Our deepest gratitude for your sacrifices.
