Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

3. Here is the fact - H.R. 3 will never become law. @senatemajldr said H.R. 3 is dead on arrival in the Senate and @realdonaldtrump has tweeted about how H.R. 3 is not good for Americans. There is another choice, a bipartisan solution that is H.R. 19. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

2. H.R. 3 claims to “negotiate” drug prices; however, with up to a 95% excise tax for manufacturers who fail to reach an agreement with the government about the price of their drugs, it is more like taking a hostage. https://t.co/1vgHZD0azo — PolitiTweet.org

We have known the outcome from the beginning of this impeachment process. As I told @JulieFineNBC5 with Lone Star Politics, we need to stop stalling on the passage of #USMCA as well as pass appropriations to fund the government. https://t.co/xOQzbiUMVh — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

Congress could be accomplishing some big things when it comes to trade or lower prescription drug prices, but instead Democrats are insistent on continuing down a path that will further divide the country. @CSPAN https://t.co/U4gc5KrdP0 — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

Since the start of this impeachment process we have known the outcome. As I told @JulieFineNBC5 with Inside Texas Politics, we need to stop stalling the passage of #USMCA as well as failing to pass appropriations to fund the government. https://t.co/xOQzbiUMVh — PolitiTweet.org
