mr. smith of nebraska for 10 minutes. the chair now recognizes mr. smith. mr. smith: thank you, madam chair. this issue is mr. smith: this issue is so important i don't think we should accept a partisan proposal that doesn't get to the heart of the problem. today we could be voting on h.r. 19, the lower costs, more cures act. a bipartisan bill that would not only address the root causes of the high insulin prices, but lower costs for all patients. instead and sadly we are voting on a partisan messaging bill to give washington a greater say in american's medical decisions while raising premiums on seniors and millions of americans with private health insurance. this is nothing more than an attempt to buy my colleagues on the other side to pass piece by piece their cures killing, socialist takeover of the entire innovation sector. worse, despite the misleading title of this current bill, it does nothing to lower the actual price of insulin. instead, it uses budget gains and regulations to disguis
