WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, House Committee on Energy and Commerce Chairman Brett Guthrie (KY-02) and Ranking Member Frank Pallone Jr., (NJ-06), along with Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations Chairman John Joyce, M.D. (PA-13) and Ranking Member Yvette D. Clarke (NY-09), and Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade Chairman Gus Bilirakis (FL-12) and Ranking Member Jan Schakowsky (IL-09), sent a letter to National Basketball Association (NBA) Commissioner Adam Silver following the recent announcement that current and former NBA players and coaches have been indicted on charges relating to sports fixing and illegal gambling. KEY EXCERPT: These allegations raise serious concerns about sports betting and the integrity of sport in the NBA, which harms fans and legal sports bettors. [...] To assist the Committee in its oversight, we request a briefing by no later than October 31, 2025, that addresses the following:  Details about the fraudulent, illegal, and alleged betting practices in connection with NBA players, coaches, and officials, including the actions of NBA players and coaches identified in the recent indictment; as well as prior instances, some of which are identified above.  Actions the NBA intends to take to limit the disclosure of nonpublic information for illegal purposes. Whether the NBA’s Code of Conduct for players and coaches effectively prohibits illegal activity, including the disclosure of non-public information for the purposes of illegal betting schemes. An explanation of the gaps, if any, in existing regulations that allow illegal betting schemes to occur. Whether and how the NBA is reevaluating the terms of its partnerships with sports betting companies. BACKGROUND: According to the unsealed indictment, current and former NBA players and coaches allegedly used insider information to place or profit from bets on NBA games. The federal indictment’s allegations of illegal betting span incidents of fraudulent wagering from December 2022 to March 2024 and involve defendants and co-conspirators residing across the United States. In 2023, it is alleged that Miami Heat player Terry Rozier left a game early to facilitate a co-conspirator’s winning bet, which produced hundreds of thousands of dollars in winnings to be split with Mr. Rozier. Another co-conspirator, former NBA player Damon Jones, is alleged to have gained access to non-public information on NBA players and teams, which he then sold to professional gamblers. Other unnamed co-conspirators are alleged to have passed along insider information as well, such as which players would not be playing in an upcoming game. In 2007, former NBA referee Tim Donaghy pleaded guilty to federal charges for using insider information to bet on games he officiated. Last year, Toronto Raptors player Jontay Porter was banned from the NBA for life after pleading guilty to wire fraud conspiracy due to his involvement in a sports betting scandal.

WASHINGTON, D.C.  – The following op-ed by Congressman Brett Guthrie (KY-02), Chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, appeared in the Washington Times today. “It’s been more than 80 years since Enrico Fermi first harnessed the power of the atom in his Chicago-based lab. Since that first moment of nuclear power production, the United States has led the world in the development and deployment of nuclear technology. “Now, at the dawn of the new technological age of artificial intelligence (AI) and of adversarial competition from China, our nuclear energy leadership remains critical for our national and energy security. “In recent years, China has sought to challenge our dominance in nuclear power. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), China is on track to overtake the U.S. as the top nuclear power provider by the end of the decade. In the last five years, more than 80% of the global supply of new nuclear energy capacity came from China alone. “Time is of the essence; we must strengthen our nuclear infrastructure and deploy more nuclear power generation, including advanced technologies, to help meet our growing energy needs. To keep America on the leading edge of industries across the entire economy, we need the reliable energy capacity that nuclear power can bring to the grid. “Nuclear energy is critical to our national security and our energy security. Nuclear energy powers our navy, fosters the engineering and technical capacity for both military and industrial applications, and provides the power that is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, for these industries and consumers alike.   “Nuclear Energy is also clean energy. And with new designs, can be deployed near factories and even AI data centers. “In the last Congress, we delivered major statutory reforms to help accelerate nuclear power and help us maintain our competitive advantage. “One major reform, known as the ADVANCE Act, is a law refocusing the government’s mission to include efficient, predictable licensing, the proper siting of reactors, and robust international engagement to promote more rapid deployment of advanced nuclear reactors. “We also enacted laws to ban Russian uranium and to support the build out of our domestic nuclear fuel sources, including for the most advanced reactors, ensuring that we are not forced to rely on adversarial nations such as China and Russia for critical supplies. “By reforming the process for licensing new reactors, we are helping to ensure that regulatory red tape will not be a major impediment to successful deployment. Developers can now focus their attention on what it takes to finance and safely build out our next generation of nuclear reactors. “The scale of future energy demand is unprecedented and made more challenging by policies that have been forcing the retirement of baseload generation in our electric system. “Our nation will need tremendous amounts of generation to meet growing consumer and AI data center demand, with some estimates showing the need for about 250 gigawatts in new dispatchable generation to ensure we have reliable power. Meeting this challenge is vital. “Earlier this year, the Department of Energy released a startling report, warning that power outages could increase by 100 times in 2030 as a result of baseload power plants coming offline, along with projections for increased demand created by the need to develop AI technologies. “To meet this demand and solve our reliability problems, we need to deploy all our tremendous energy resources, from natural gas to coal to uranium and hydropower, that can provide reliable electricity. This is why the successful deployment of nuclear power in the coming years is also so critical. “The tremendous power from nuclear energy can help rapidly fill in the gap in baseload power we need, diversify our energy supplies, and develop new technologies all while strengthening our national security simultaneously. “Losing the race for AI dominance to China would be the equivalent of losing the space race to the Soviet Union a devastating blow to our economy, our privacy, and our national security. To ensure our success, we need to invest in nuclear technologies. “Our nation’s security and the strength of our electric grid will depend on our ability to develop and maintain advanced nuclear energy. By continuing to focus on strengthening our fuel supply chain and streamlining the permitting process to bring more nuclear reactors online, we can ensure our nation continues to have an abundance of clean, affordable, and reliable energy for decades to come.”   ###

WASHINGTON, D.C.  – Congressman Brett Guthrie (KY-02), Chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, Congressman Gus Bilirakis (FL-12), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade, and Congressman John Joyce, M.D. (PA-13), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, sent letters to Pam Bondi, U.S. Attorney General, Andrew Ferguson, Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, and Howard Lutnick, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Commerce, urging the administration to investigate and address potential national security risks posed by BrainCo, a neural technology company allegedly funded by the People’s Republic of China (PRC). KEY EXCERPTS: “The Committee on Energy and Commerce has long warned about the national and economic security risks of CCP-aligned entities accessing Americans’ personal and proprietary information. The use of American data by CCP-aligned entities, such as BrainCo, to develop and deploy AI underscores our concerns. […] The Committee urges swift action to investigate and address the potential national and economic security risks posed by BrainCo’s operations in the United States and its access to Americans’ personal information.” BACKGROUND: According to recent reporting , the company was started by MIT and Harvard scientists but has “been quietly backed by the Chinese government-linked entities for nearly a decade.”  BrainCo products reportedly harvest personalized brainwave data from users.  BrainCo is reportedly working with sanctioned PRC military contractors.  BrainCo products reportedly have been used by Olympic gold medalist Mikaela Shiffrin, number two world tennis player, Jannik Sinner, U.S. Olympic teams, and many others.  Along with DeepSeek , BrainCo is considered one of China’s “Six Little Dragons” — meaning one of the CCP’s most promising young tech startups. The PRC’s National Intelligence Law of 2017 requires PRC individuals and entities to support PRC intelligence services. CLICK HERE to read exclusive coverage of the letter.

WASHINGTON, D.C.  – Today, Congressman Brett Guthrie (KY-02), Chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, Congressman Gus Bilirakis (FL-12), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade, and Congressman Richard Hudson (NC-09), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Communications and Technology, issued the following statement following President Trump’s announcement of a deal to separate TikTok from control of entities with ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP): “We appreciate the extensive work done by President Trump and Vice President Vance to make progress toward a qualified divestiture of TikTok from ByteDance. As the details are finalized, we must ensure this deal protects American users from the influence and surveillance of CCP-aligned groups,” said Chairmen Guthrie, Bilirakis, and Hudson. “Limiting the influence and involvement of China remains a vital national security interest, and we look forward to seeing a deal that secures America’s interests on the global stage.” ###

WASHINGTON, D.C.  – In case you missed it, the Washington Examiner published an article featuring a letter from House Committee on Energy and Commerce Chairman Brett Guthrie (KY-02) and Ranking Member Frank Pallone Jr. (NJ-06), along with Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations Chairman John Joyce, M.D. (PA-13), and Ranking Member Yvette D. Clarke (NY-09), requesting a briefing on HRSA’s ongoing oversight of patient safety in the nation’s organ procurement and transplant system. In Case You Missed It: “House Republicans and Democrats are pressing the Department of Health and Human Services to increase transparency on possible ‘systemic problems’ and ‘threats to patient safety’ in the national organ transplant system, according to a letter obtained by the Washington Examiner. “Bipartisan leadership on the Energy and Commerce Committee wrote to Health Resources and Services Administrator Thomas Engels on Friday, probing whether the agency is able to conduct a wide-ranging review of patient safety after multiple reported incidents of organ donor patients being egregiously mistreated by organ procurement organizations. “Chairman Brett Guthrie (R-KY), along with ranking Democratic Rep. Frank Pallone (NJ), John Joyce (R-PA), and Yvette Clarke (D-NY), said in a joint statement on Tuesday that their investigation into the organ procurement system ‘has demonstrated the need for further oversight’ and that problems may exist nationwide. “The American people should be able to have full faith and confidence in our organ donor and transplant system, and we will continue to work together to prevent these harmful practices from continuing,’ said the bipartisan representatives in their statement. “The Energy and Commerce Committee began its longer-term investigation testimony last fall about a Kentucky patient, Anthony Thomas Hoover II, whose family agreed to proceed with organ donation following an overdose in 2021. “Although Hoover’s neurological condition improved, representatives from the Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates, the organ procurement organization serving Kentucky, moved forward with the organ retrieval process. Records indicate that Hoover woke up on the operating table before the retrieval surgery, and hospital staff intervened to stop the procedure. “HRSA, which oversees the national Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network and its contractor organ procurement organizations, conducted its own internal investigation into the Kentucky situation following the revelation of Hoover’s case. “The HRSA corrective action plan, issued in May, examined 351 organ procurement cases in Kentucky between December 2024 and February 2025 that did not result in donation. “About 30% of those cases, 103 patients, presented ‘concerning features,’ including 73 patients who showed neurological signs of life after being approved for organ donation surgery and 28 patients who may have survived entirely since there was no cardiac time of death recorded. “Other ‘concerning features’ of the incidents in the HRSA report, according to Guthrie and his House colleagues, include ‘issues related to patient and family interactions, medical assessments and healthcare team interactions, recognition of high neurological function, and recognition and documentation of drugs in patient records.’ “HRSA’s testimony and other public reports suggest that these patterns are not limited to instances detailed in HRSA’s report and may exist in other parts of the country,’ Guthrie and his colleagues wrote. “The bipartisan representatives in their letter cited a New York Times piece published in August about Misty Hawkins, 42, from Alabama, who was taken off life support in the spring of 2024 and prepped for organ donation. Doctors discovered while she was on the operating table that her heart was still beating and she was breathing during her organ retrieval surgery. “Last week, another story came to light of a 22-year-old patient from Kentucky who, in 2019, was taken to surgery to have his organs removed for donation despite still having a heartbeat and not being declared brain dead. “Larry Black Jr., who arrived at the hospital a week prior due to a gunshot wound to the head, was rescued from surgery just in time by another physician. Now at 28, he is a father to three children. “HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. directed HRSA in July to conduct a deeper investigation into the Kentucky organ procurement case, saying that ‘the entire system must be fixed to ensure that every potential donor’s life is treated with the sanctity it deserves.’ “But the agency has not yet announced plans for a nationwide review of organ transplant systems. “Guthrie and his House colleagues requested that HRSA provide more information on the current status of all patient safety complaints that the agency has received and whether or not HRSA has the capacity ‘to initiate other wide-ranging reviews appropriate, in response to a patient safety complaint that may suggest a systemic problem.’ “The committee requested a staff-level briefing no later than September 26. “Americans’ confidence in the system comes when patient safety is protected,’ said the bipartisan House coalition.”   ###

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Brett Guthrie (KY-02), Chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, and Congressman John Joyce, M.D. (PA-13), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, issued the following statement in response to an announcement by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) of a decision to decertify the organ procurement organization (OPO) covering South Florida, as well as new efforts by the Health Services and Resources Administration’s (HRSA) to improve operations within the organ procurement and transplant system. “It is critical to ensure that all entities involved in the organ procurement and transplantation process operate safely, and we are grateful to HHS for their instrumental action taken today to mitigate some of the harmful practices that have come to light through rigorous investigations by this Committee and HRSA,” said Chairmen Guthrie and Joyce. “The Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations held a hearing on issues related to patient safety in July and will continue working to protect patients and their families to restore trust in our nation’s organ procurement and transplant system. We applaud HHS for building upon those efforts through the actions taken today and look forward to continuing to work with them.”   Background:   Today, HHS announced it is moving to decertify an Organ Procurement Organization (OPO)—the Life Alliance Organ Recovery Agency, a division of the University of Miami Health System—after an investigation uncovered years of unsafe practices, poor training, chronic underperformance, understaffing, and paperwork errors.  HHS also announced reforms to restore integrity and trust in the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN), including:  Imposing safeguards to prevent line-skipping in organ allocation, immediately protecting nearly 300 patients.  Holding a special election, which spurred record turnout, to install an independent OPTN board.  Establishing a strengthened misconduct reporting system, giving patients and providers a direct channel for safety concerns.  Creating a transparency tool that shows when organs are allocated outside the standard match list.  Removing “DEI” provisions from the 2024 IOTA model to ensure procedural fairness.  Through its extensive investigation, the House Committee on Energy and Commerce has uncovered concerning practices in our nation’s organ procurement and transplant system.   On July 22, 2025, the House Committee on Energy and Commerce’s Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations held a hearing examining concerning practices within our nation’s organ procurement and transplant system that were also identified by HRSA’s investigation.    On September 12, 2025, Chairmen Guthrie and Joyce and Ranking Members Pallone and Clarke wrote a letter to HRSA requesting a briefing on its ongoing oversight of patient safety in our nation’s organ procurement and transplant system.  ###

WASHINGTON, D.C.  – Today, Congressman Brett Guthrie (KY-02), Chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, released the following statement following the passage of H.R. 3062, the Promoting Cross-border Energy Infrastructure Act, H.R. 3015, the National Coal Council Reestablishment Act, and H.R. 1047, the GRID Power Act. “Today’s passage of H.R. 3062, H.R. 3015, and H.R. 1047 reflects the House Committee on Energy and Commerce’s relentless work to secure American energy dominance. These bills streamline the permitting process for critical cross-border energy projects, restore expert advisory input from the coal industry that the Biden-Harris Administration eliminated, and ensure that electricity grid operators have the tools they need to secure the reliability of the bulk power system. With rising energy demand and growing threats to grid reliability, House Republicans are ensuring the U.S. has the tools to deliver affordable, abundant, and reliable energy,” said Chairman Guthrie. “Thank you to Congresswoman Fedorchak, Congressman Rulli, and Congressman Balderson for their tireless work to strengthen our grid and power our communities.”   H.R. 3062 passed the House by a vote of 224 to 203, H.R. 3015 passed the House by a vote of 217 to 209, and H.R. 1047 passed the House by a vote of 216 to 206.  “Republicans are delivering on our promise to strengthen the grid, create American jobs, and lower energy costs for American families,” said Speaker Johnson. “This week, House Republicans passed three pieces of key legislation to build on the energy provisions within the historic Working Families Tax Cuts and codify President Trump’s Executive Orders to unleash American energy. As Democrats continue to push radical, job-killing, impossible-to-attain green agendas – Republicans are focused on real solutions that grow the economy and put American workers first. Together with President Trump, Republicans in Congress are helping pave the way for a return to American energy dominance.”   “The Keystone XL pipeline should have never been cancelled. Yet on his first day in office, President Biden used the stroke of a pen to shut it down,” said Congresswoman Fedorchak. “By passing my legislation, the House has taken a critical step to end years of regulatory uncertainty and partisan games that have delayed energy infrastructure projects, crushed good-paying jobs, and undermined America’s energy security.” “For decades, the National Coal Council was a powerful voice for coal and a tireless champion for American workers and communities. Coal has reliably fueled our factories, powered our homes, and helped build the greatest economy the world has ever known – it’s ridiculous to neglect it,” said Congressman Rulli. “We need common-sense energy policies that keep coal in the mix, strengthen our grid, and protect good-paying jobs. Codifying the National Coal Council into law ensures that politics doesn’t get in the way of good policy. I’m grateful to House leadership and my colleagues for voting to restore this vital council and secure America’s energy future.”   “With American power demand far outpacing our ability to generate more electricity, our grid is heading toward a reliability crisis,” said Congressman Balderson . “The interconnection queue is overwhelmed and bogged down, leaving shovel-ready power projects waiting for years while demand continues to climb. The GRID Power Act clears the path for the most critical projects, giving grid operators the tools they need to add more dispatchable baseload power—lowering costs for households and businesses while keeping America’s grid reliable.” Background on H.R. 3062, Promoting Cross-border Energy Infrastructure Act: The expansion of cross-border energy transportation infrastructure—pipelines for oil and natural gas and electric transmission lines—is necessary to ensure our nation’s energy dominance and safeguard our national security. H.R. 3062 replaces the Presidential permit requirement with a more transparent and effective review process by authorizing the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to review applications for cross-border oil and natural gas pipelines, and the Department of Energy to review applications for cross-border transmission facilities. Background on H.R. 3015, National Coal Council Establishment Act: This legislation makes the National Coal Council permanent by removing requirements under the Federal Advisory Committee Act to re-charter every two years, therefore preventing future administrations from disbanding this essential council. While the United States is projected to increase electricity demands by 151 GW over the next ten years, coal fired units are pre-maturely retiring at an alarming rate. Premature retirements of coal fired units are largely driven by federal and state policies designed to intentionally attack their financial viability. Background on H.R.1047, GRID Power Act: The GRID Power Act provides Regional Transmission Organizations and Independent System Operators with authority to prioritize energy projects that are ready to bring more baseload power onto the grid immediately, improving grid reliability and resiliency and helping to meet the demand of industrial and household customers alike. Expediting resources that advance reliability provides grid operators with additional tools to re-balance the grid’s resource mix to keep the lights on at affordable prices for all Americans and reverse the legacy effects of the Biden-Harris energy policies that continue to drive prices higher.  ###

WASHINGTON, D.C.  – Congressman Richard Hudson (NC-09), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Communications and Technology, delivered the following opening statement at today’s hearing titled Examining Solutions to Expedite Broadband Permitting . Subcommittee Chairman Hudson’s opening statement as prepared for delivery:  “Closing the digital divide has long been a bipartisan priority for this subcommittee. Under both Republican and Democratic majorities, we have discussed and found ways to ensure that every American has access to high-speed broadband. Today, we have the opportunity to achieve this goal with the $42 billion Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program.   “I think members of both parties would agree that BEAD has not gone as we had hoped. After almost four years, not a single home has been connected. Some in my party want to completely scrap BEAD and start over because of how the previous Administration ran the program. But that is not my view. My goal has been to fix the program so that we can deploy broadband quickly. The name of my bill, the SPEED for BEAD Act, reflects this.    “I am pleased that many of my proposed reforms have been adopted by the Trump Administration and that they are working quickly to review and approve state proposals.    “Still, money alone will not close the digital divide. Burdensome, opaque, and expensive permitting reviews that exist at every level of government continue to prevent or delay deployment. I have heard this from broadband providers across the country.   “In my home state of North Carolina, one provider has waited over a year for the Department of the Interior to review its application to build on federal land—even though the agency is required to provide a response within 270 days.    “Another North Carolina provider’s project was delayed because it has to do a historic preservation review despite the fact that it was on previously disturbed terrain that likely already had a review. And this is in addition to lengthy state and local application reviews that can include excessive costs unrelated to approving the permit.    “Unless we streamline the permitting process, all of the money we have dedicated to deployment will be tied up in burdensome reviews resulting in more unnecessary delays, forcing millions of Americans to continue to wait for connectivity.   “Energy and Commerce Committee Republicans are committed to reforming this process. For the past three Congresses, we have introduced a package of bills to address this problem. Each of these bills tackles an obstacle that has either prevented, delayed, or complicated deployment, with the goal of instilling certainty, predictability, and savings into this process.  “For example, my RAPID Act would exempt small cell wireless antennas from burdensome and expensive environmental and historic preservation reviews, as well as reform the Tribal notification process to expedite wireless broadband deployment. I look forward to the discussion today to find the best path forward together.  “Some of these bills passed the House last Congress with bipartisan support. I hope we can pass those bills, as well as the others, into law this Congress. Enacting this package will make deploying broadband cheaper, more predictable, and less burdensome, ultimately connecting more Americans.  “I want to acknowledge our partners at the Federal Communications Commission for their work on this issue. Under then-Chairman Ajit Pai, the FCC used its authorities to remove state and local obstacles to deployment, implement shot clocks, and cap fees where they can. That work is continuing under Chairman Brendan Carr, as they will seek comment later this month on additional proposals. We are grateful for this work and, through these bills, hope to codify and build on what they have done.  “I hope that instead of playing the blame game today, we can focus on making sure every American has access to the broadband service that is essential to life in the 21st Century. We have an esteemed panel of witnesses with us today, all of whom have experience with the challenges of deploying broadband. I look forward to hearing from them and I look forward to this discussion.”  ###

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Morgan Griffith (VA-09), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Health, led a legislative hearing on examining policies to enhance seniors’ access to breakthrough medical technologies. “These policies are essential to reducing regulatory barriers to help patients get timely access to care, while also bringing more transparency into the coverage process at CMS,” said Chairman Griffith. “It is our job as Congress to ensure that patients are able to access treatments, screenings, or devices in a timely manner—especially if there are no other alternatives on the market.” Watch the full hearing here . Below are key excerpts from today’s hearing: Congresswoman Diana Harshbarger (TN-01) on the bill To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to ensure transparency in the national coverage determination process under the Medicare program and to make certain adjustments to Medicare local coverage determinations: “My question is, how should Medicare prioritize coverage pathways for therapies that address these high burden diseases?” Dr. Brinton: “As I said, this is obviously a huge number of Medicare beneficiaries [that] suffer from cardiovascular disorders. Ultimately, as we mentioned before, transitional coverage—the [Transitional Coverage for Emerging Technologies] as we exist today—provides an opportunity, but it’s limited basically to five technologies. This is a pace that requires [Coverage with Evidence Development] to get to a national coverage decision, but there’s an opportunity for a lot more than that to broaden the capability. There are technologies that we need to have available to seniors. The opportunity to do that basically provides accelerating this process.”   Congressman John Joyce, M.D. (PA-13) on the Ensuring Patient Access to Critical Breakthrough Products Act of 2025: “Innovation has long been the cornerstone of American medicine. It’s how I practiced medicine for 25 years. America has consistently led the world in development of new and innovative therapies and cutting-edge medical devices. However, due to the current payment structure of Medicare, our nation’s seniors frequently can be excluded from accessing the newest medical device technology. In fact, this delay in coverage following an FDA approval by CMS has the unfortunate name of the valley of death.” Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-01) on the Nancy Gardner Sewell Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act: “Late-stage cancer diagnoses are the deadliest, require treatments that take the hardest toll on patients, and cost the most to treat. That’s why I was proud to coauthor the Nancy Gardner Sewell Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act with my colleagues Representatives Hudson, Arrington, Sewell, Ruiz, and Kelly. This critical legislation gives CMS the authority to cover multi-cancer early detection tests once they’re approved by the FDA, ensuring our nation’s seniors have access to groundbreaking innovation that will transform how we diagnose and prevent cancer progression.” ###
