               INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS TO HEALTHCARE ISSUES

  (Mr. MORELLE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MORELLE. Mr. Speaker, with so much uncertainty in our future, 
families shouldn't have the additional burden of worrying about the 
state of their healthcare. Unfortunately, though, COVID-19 has only 
further exposed the cracks in our healthcare system and forced us all 
to face the urgency with which we must work to address them.
  As we continue to respond to the public health crisis, I have been 
working with my colleagues here in the House to find innovative and 
timely solutions for the problems that COVID-19 continues to 
exacerbate.
  Over the past several months, I have fought for the price of insulin 
and other drugs to be lowered immediately because families that are 
struggling need access to lifesaving medication. I fought alongside my 
colleagues for more supplies for our healthcare workers, for hospitals, 
and for community healthcare centers.
  We can't let up now. We must continue to take steps that address the 
health disparities that place a significant and dangerous burden on 
American families.
  I would like to join my colleagues and constituents in remembering 
the lives tragically lost during this pandemic and recommit to working 
together to help families across our country stay safe.
