today" just published a powerful op-ed by nicole smith holt. it's entitled, my son died from rationing insulin, democratic drug pricing plan still wouldn't help him. she writes of her son, age 26, who aged out of his parents' insurance and had a job with no benefits. she expresses the same concern that a group of michigan high schoolers recently wrote me about in a compelling article that they are raising money to help those who lack insurance by their -- buy their drugs, saying drug manufacturers should not be able to determine who does and who does not get better, everyone deserves to be healthy and everyone deserves to be helped by our legislation. but some are left out. my goal has never been to turn this bill to the right or to the left, but to deal with those and provide assurances to those who have been left out by it. under this legislation, it will still remain illegal, a violation of federal law, to negotiate lower drug prices on 2/3 of the drugs -- may i have another half a minute? ms. shalala: i yield a half minute to the gentleman.
