As an OB/GYN it is incredible to see the medical advances saving the lives of mothers and babies. — PolitiTweet.org

The survival of a baby born this early in pregnancy was unheard of, in 1973, but outcomes have improved as medical care has advanced. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a critical reauthorization that is imperative to maintaining our nation’s efforts to address the #opioidcrisis. Thank you, @repgregwalden for you leadership in getting this passed and @realDonaldTrump for signing the extension. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

There is a lot to unpack with this policy. We should take the time to understand it rather than jump to conclusions and a meaningless message. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

With this option, states would have additional flexibility to invest in their most vulnerable populations. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

@repgregwalden @HouseCommerce Some states may find that this option provides increased flexibility. In fact, if a state does not spend ALL of its federal allotment under the Healthy Adult Opportunity demonstration, it can keep up to fifty percent of the savings to REINVEST into Medicaid. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

@repgregwalden @HouseCommerce This is an option. States do not have to take this option. States can maintain the status quo and continue to operate their Medicaid programs as they were before this opportunity. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

@repgregwalden @HouseCommerce In a hearing, we could discuss this optional policy with the states that are deciding whether they would like take advantage of this opportunity. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

This is why I joined @repgregwalden in sending a letter to @HouseCommerce Chairman, Rep. Frank Pallone, asking for a committee hearing on this OPTIONAL policy. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

I agree with @HouseCommerce GOP Leader @repgregwalden when he said that this resolution is a partisan version of a press release. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

Today, Congress missed an opportunity once again to have a meaningful, substantive, and legitimate debate by taking H.Res. 862 directly to the floor. I am disappointed the discussion surrounding the Healthy Adult Opportunity was turned into a partisan political publication. https://t.co/68sKO5uQqf — PolitiTweet.org

Speaker Pelosi's action were disrespectful not only to @POTUS but to the heroes and their families attending the #SOTU. I support @RepKayGranger and voted for her resolution disapproving of the Speaker's conduct. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

This resolution highlights the "Best is Yet to Come" Blueprint that @realDonaldTrump laid out in his #SOTU2020. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

If we are to have a legitimate debate on this OPTIONAL policy, we should do so in a hearing. https://t.co/3fjOiKEilr — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

Over the last several months, America watched as Congress took part in a partisan exercise. The end was predicted from the beginning. @realDonaldTrump is still the President. My desire is that we will come back together & start putting forward solutions for the American people. — PolitiTweet.org
