As I saw during my border trip last week, there is a humanitarian and security crisis that necessitates action. #HR6 is not a valid solution. Instead of continuing to waste time, we should be working to deliver effective border security & fix asylum laws. https://t.co/j1Q9scMcij — PolitiTweet.org

I’m grateful that this bill includes my MISSION Zero Act, which connects battle-tested trauma care with American patients. As of today, the House has passed this bipartisan legislation 5 separate times, and it is gratifying to see MISSION Zero reach the finish line. — PolitiTweet.org

#PAHPA is vital legislation that bolsters our nation's public health. This reauthorization is long overdue. Today's passage is the fourth time that the House has cleared this bill. At last, it is headed to @POTUS' desk to become the law of the land. https://t.co/O06rObDpwM — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

I introduced bipartisan legislation alongside @RepGonzalez to lift the ACA's ban on physician-owned hospitals - restoring doctors' freedom to innovate and serve their patients. It's a privilege to carry on former Rep. Sam Johnson's work on this issue. https://t.co/85s4DViS5t — PolitiTweet.org

This morning, I joined @Fox4's @tryanfox4 to discuss my trip to the border earlier this week. With unprecedented numbers of migrants crossing into the U.S. each day, the situation on our southern border is a crisis that requires urgent action.

The situation on our southern border is not a "manufactured crisis." Rather, it's a real crisis of a historic proportions that risks overwhelming all resources and personnel on the ground. Congress must deliver effective #BorderSecurity and reform the asylum process. — PolitiTweet.org

Physician-owned hospitals play an important role in providing quality, efficient, and cost-effective care in modern medicine. I led a letter urging @CMSGov to optimize the role of physician-owned hospitals to improve health care for American patients. https://t.co/nle1HUyQAv — PolitiTweet.org

Our servicemembers and their families make great sacrifices to serve their fellow Americans. As we prepare for #MemorialDay, Congress must ensure that our Armed Forces – the arsenal of our democracy - remain fully equipped to fulfill their vital mission. https://t.co/KPXtnUi3uU — PolitiTweet.org

This morning I met with University of North Texas graduate students studying public administration. They asked insightful questions about health care policy and the legislative process. As always, it was great to see members of the @UNTsocial community on Capitol Hill. https://t.co/o9Y8rBpCb1 — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

Both @RulesDemocrats & @HouseBudgetDems have held hearings on Democrats’ health care government takeover proposal. @EnergyCommerce – the committee of jurisdiction – must hold a hearing on this extreme policy that could have potentially catastrophic ramifications. #MedicareForNone — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Burgess, MD @michaelcburgess

Vaccines are safe and effective tools that can protect Americans from preventable suffering. I’m glad to work with @RepKimSchrier, the newest physician to join the U.S. House, to introduce legislation that reinforces vaccines’ lifesaving potential. https://t.co/D2ae6jH8kl — PolitiTweet.org

In 2008, I co-founded the Congressional Motorcycle Caucus with Rep. @GabbyGiffords. For more than a decade, this bipartisan caucus has served as a voice in Congress for all motorcycle riders.

On May 21, 1919, the U.S. House of Representatives approved the Susan B. Anthony Amendment, which guaranteed women the right to vote. A century later, we celebrate the courage of those who rightly fought to give women a vote and a voice in our democracy. #WomensVote100 #OTD https://t.co/zm9F7odIFi — PolitiTweet.org
