House Committee on Energy and Commerce | Chairman @RepGuthrie

Washington, D.C.
For too long, children and teens have been left exposed to online threats and harms. Now, with @HouseCommerce’s bipartisan KIDS Act, we are taking a major step to empower parents, require safety features be turned on by default, and hold Big Tech accountable. We need the KIDS Act signed into law now, to enable modern protections for the modern world.

On Thursday, Chairman @RepMGriffith held a Health markup of 15 bills to safeguard Americans from the harms of illicit substances and increase price transparency, making health care more affordable for all Americans. The current lack of transparency leaves patients in the dark and limits their ability to make informed care decisions.

Children and teens have a right to be protected from the harms of the internet. This week @HouseCommerce announced a bipartisan deal on the KIDS Act to do just that. This bill keeps minors safe online while giving parents greater oversight to ensure online safety.

Americans deserve to know where their health insurance dollars are actually going. Right now, insurers are required to spend at least 80 to 85 cents of every premium dollar on patient care, but that data is buried in regulatory filings that few Americans ever see. That changes with my Premium Transparency Act, which passed @HouseCommerce's Health Subcommittee this week. @POTUS's Great American Health Care Plan puts patients first, and this bill helps codify that promise.

California is catastrophically failing to go after Medicaid fraud that robs vulnerable Americans of care. The state has referred less than half of credible fraud allegations for prosecution, allowing criminals to run free and steal essential care. @HouseCommerce is working every day to end it for good. washingtonexaminer.com/polic…

At yesterday’s O&I hearing, Chairman @RepGuthrie made it clear: “If you’re cheating the system, we’re going to come after you.” Meanwhile, Democrats refused to even acknowledge the rampant and widely reported fraud in our Medicaid system. Republicans are fighting for vulnerable Americans while Democrats are covering for criminals—plain and simple. Read More ⬇️

On Wednesday, our @HouseCommerce Subcommittee on Energy advanced the Ratepayer Protection Act to the full committee. This bill would codify @POTUS' Ratepayer Protection Pledge and protect Americans from footing the bill for any upgrades to energy infrastructure to support large load energy customers like data centers. We must win the race for AI dominance the right way. When a data center developer comes to town, they should do so eager to grow alongside a community, not looking for handouts at the expense of taxpayers.

Yesterday, @HouseCommerce brought in state Medicaid directors before the O&I Subcommittee to understand exactly how state health officials are working to combat excessive fraud in their programs. While Republicans grilled witnesses on how we can end fraud and protect vulnerable Americans, all Democrats cared about was putting politics over patients. WATCH ⬇️
