mr. guthrie: thank you, madam speaker. i introduce into the record an editorial entitled "tilting at wind mills" which notes that the massive spending bill will reduce global temperatures by .082 degrees. i would like to introduce that into the record and recognize my good friend from iowa, dr. miller-meeks, for two minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is recognized for two minutes. mrs. miller-meeks: thank you, madam speaker, and thank representative guthrie for yielding me time. i rise today in opposition of h.r. 5376, the inflation reduction act. as a physician and a former director of the iowa department of public health, i'm uniquely positioned to understand the true implications of this bill and how this bill will affect both doctors and patients and rural iowaans are no exception. interestingly, i just heard my colleague talk about how families were maybe kicked off their health care. it doesn't seem my colleagues on the other side of the aisle cared about that when they passed the affordable care act an

mr. guthrie of kentucky.prohibits hhs secretary from negotiating prices -- drug prices if the cbo determines the negotiations with lead to 10 fewer cures coming to market. we are running without proper cbo score so it's impossible to estimate the true economic impact but we should all agree that negotiating the price of drugs should not be prioritized over finding cures. that can save lives. cbo and the university of chicago offers hundreds of cures will not come to market until the legislation before us today -- we really have no idea what the cures would be for haps alzheimer's or cancer or other diseases. it is wrong to proceed without this type of limitation. i move the amendment he made in order. >> i think limiting negotiations gives pharma free range to keep prices high on drugs that are already very expensive. this bill delivers on the promise of cheaper prescription drugs and i oppose any effort to weaken the drug price negotiations provisions included in this bill. >> as a further observation since
