During this pandemic, I think we’ve seen the importance of allowing efficient access to electronic medical records for both the patient & doctor. Today, the House passed a bill building on momentum from the 21st Century Cures Act & the executive branch. https://t.co/BVNqhpbeLH https://t.co/b9Ww6F1RW9 — PolitiTweet.org

I think we will look back on Operation Warp Speed as an example of how a federal government typically slowed by regulations can become nimble enough to navigate a crisis. It’s been a year since we heard of COVID-19, and now we are on the cusp of a vaccine. — PolitiTweet.org

PASSED THE HOUSE: H.R. 5534, a bill I have championed for a decade, protects the investment of a kidney transplant by extending Medicare coverage for immunosuppressive drugs to help patients maintain a healthy new kidney. This bill is a win for transplant patients & taxpayers. https://t.co/1oX6MWKnNz — PolitiTweet.org
