Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) today issued the following statement after Speaker Pelosi’s partisan drug pricing proposal, H.R. 3, passed the House on a near party-line vote of 230-192.

As far as politicians go, U.S. Rep. Mike Gallagher is a bit of a nerd.
He'll remind you about Article II of the Constitution, which grants power to Congress that he believes has been hacked away. He wrote his dissertation on President Dwight Eisenhower's Project Solarium, and is now part of a similar commission to look at cybersecurity.
He focuses on committee work, he said, a very un-sexy part of governing.
Friends,
As anyone who’s turned on the TV in the last two years surely knows, the healthcare conversation too often devolves into partisan bickering that’s heavy on politically charged rhetoric and light on concrete solutions.
Healthcare is not just the number one issue I hear about from my constituents, it’s one of the most important issues facing our country. But instead of coming to the table to work together on lowering healthcare costs, many of my colleagues are focused on using healthcare as a political wedge and a way to politically posture themselves.
Washington, D.C. - Congressman Mike Gallagher last week co-sponsored H.R. 1135, the Indian Health Service (IHS) Advance Appropriations Act of 2019. This legislation would provide an advanced appropriation to the IHS, which would ensure that the funding the IHS receives is not impacted by lapses in appropriations, such as government shutdowns. The Department of Veterans Affairs health system operates under a similar model. Click HERE for bill text.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today Congressman Mike Gallagher, joined by his colleague Ed Perlmutter (D-CO), introduced bipartisan legislation to require all medical providers, including insurers and drug companies, to publicly disclose costs for all products, services and procedures.
