specifically, the secretary of health and human services i guess recommends to the president. and there's a reason for that and that's because he gets all this information from various sources about the science, about when we should be doing this. and so i disagree to say that we as the congress should be the ones that make that determination either to begin or end. but in addition to that, the gentleman from kentucky mentioned in response to one of my democratic colleagues the provision that we passed in the last congress in the inflation and reduction act to negotiate prices for prescription drugs under medicare. the fact of the matter is, that wasn't a cut to medicare. that was a way of trying to make drug prices more affordable for our seniors. to suggest that somehow that's a cut, i don't think is accurate. i mean, this is a major savings to seniors' out of pocket once this program goes into effect. you know, by way of background, again, some of my democratic colleagues have stressed that we hear constantly from the other side of the aisle this idea that, you know, the re

last year, we merged the department of human services and public health to create the health and human services department. the change paid off. no employees lost their jobs nor was any service downgraded in importance. in fact, just the opposite happened. the streamlined organization allowed parties to take advantage of scale and integration. related functions were knit more closely together and collaboration between agencies improved. we saw similar results when we merged our two different groups of administrative law judges, one in workforce development and the other in the department of inspections and appeals. within three months, a backlog of over 5400 cases was gone and iowans got the decisions they deserved in a timely manner. both of these changes resulted in a better, smoother experience for iowans. they deserve the same across all state government. it's been nearly 40 years since we've undertaken a comprehensive review of government operations and structure and frankly it shows. iowa has 37 executive branch cabinet members, significantly more than both our neighbors and best
