are wondering why congress isn't willing to deal with the zika virus, and wondering why this republican congress won't do a budget and when will they do comprehensive immigration reform and when congress is going to deal with the crisis in flint, michigan with adults and children drinking poisonned lead water and if we want to help america, we would put dave cicilline's bill on the floor right away. i stand proudly with every member who is here who is a champion of this issue and i think it's time for congress to get it and do its job. as a proud latino of catholic heritage, 20 years ago, i voted against the defense of marriage act. i'm pleased to see what the supreme court has said last year. but come on, congress has to get with it. we know there are people who are being treated, not just unfairly but unequally. so we can do our job. is there anyone in america who believes that congress should have people elected who want to discriminate still? is there anyone in america who believes we should have members of congress who want to treat people unequally? this congress has a lot it can do and i

sarah: there's not a lot of appetite in the republican congress to spend new money. so they basically took money that had already been given out and regarded it here. a lot of democrats were pushing for congress to give more money to fight the problem. and it does seem like in the next set of appropriation bills, assuming those go through, that a lot of republicans in congress are thinking about providing more money to address the opioid epidemic. we will see how that plays out. also when the house considers some more legislation, whether they decide to add a money component or not. host: any word whether the house will take up that senate bill? sarah: it's not clear yet that they will. the chair of the house judiciary committee, who would be the committee taking up this bill has expressed interest. he says he wants to look at the costs of the bill and whether it's the best way to address the crisis. there is a lot of momentum. a lot of advocacy groups are pushing measures forward. the house is not quite started any work at. host: viewers can follow more on the bills
