                     HIGHLIGHTING BUILD BACK BETTER

  (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to highlight how the Build 
Back Better Act will improve the lives of people all across our 
country.
  For far too long, pharmaceutical giants have charged outrageous 
prices for lifesaving medication. The Build Back Better Act will 
finally allow Medicare to negotiate prices and cap the price of insulin 
at $35 a month.
  For years, hardworking people who fell ill or cared for an aging 
loved one were forced to choose between their livelihood and their 
health or that of their loved ones. Finally, the Build Back Better Act 
will ensure more people have decent healthcare and that their coverage 
is more affordable.
  Importantly, all of this will be paid for without raising taxes on 
middle-class families because when billionaires pay their fair share, 
we can invest in those who make and build what makes and builds 
America.
