"I am one of those people who has said from the beginning, Congress has an oversight responsibility. We need to continue that oversight, but we've got both parties by the way have got to deliver for the people, and he was right to talk about prescription drugs, but where you go across this country is all I've heard about again this weekend. People are worried about the cost of health care, the cost of their prescription drugs."
"Well we did, we passed some bills this week, on drug pricing. But the fact of the matter is we've got to do a lot more. I hope we can do it in a bipartisan way because here is the reality. We can get bills through the House, we want to work in Energy and Commerce, which is a Committee I'm on, moving out these bills to more bipartisan we make them the much better off for the country. We need the Senate to move the bill. I assure you we will get bills out of the house, and we will do it quickly. Let's hope that we can get bills that are bipartisan and that we can get the President to sign."
