"This is a common-sense amendment because taxpayers simply do not want their hard-earned money being used to pay for crack pipes. That is why I worked hard to introduce this amendment and make sure tax dollars are never used for that," said Moolenaar. "HHS must be a responsible steward of taxpayer funding and ensure that the programs it funds are helping those who are in need without prolonging their addiction."

“I voted for today’s common-sense legislation because it will protect taxpayers and make sure their tax dollars are never used to purchase crack pipes,” said Congressman John Moolenaar, who voted for the legislation on Wednesday. “I voted against Biden’s funding for crack pipes last year when I voted against the Democrats’ partisan $2 trillion spending bill. Today’s funding ban is a victory for taxpayers.”

“Our veterans deserve the best care and they should never have to wait a long time to receive it. By publicizing wait times, this legislation will promote accountability and help ensure transparency so our veterans and their families know they are receiving the care they deserve in a timely manner," said Moolenaar.

"I led the fight against Biden's unconstitutional workplace vaccine mandate and he should end this appeal before he wastes more taxpayer dollars on another losing lawsuit. Biden's policies are out-of-touch and while he wants to force everyone to mask, the truth is he is having the wool pulled over his eyes by unelected bureaucrats who want unlimited power over Americans’ lives."

“The baby formula shortage is a crisis for Michigan parents who are struggling to find food for their newborns and infants,” said Moolenaar. “This legislation will eliminate red tape, help restock shelves, and bring much-needed relief to parents and their young children by allowing for the importation of safe and healthy formula from countries that have high standards just like the United States.”

"Our veterans deserve the best care and I am proud to be a leading supporter of this legislation, which will create more accountability at the VA. Veterans must be able to track the status of their complaints, and this bill will make that possible,” said Moolenaar.

I am a member of the House Appropriations Committee and the subcommittee with oversight of HHS and its response to the opioid crisis. I support funding for states to combat the opioid crisis and I have also backed legislation funding research into new pain relief treatments so patients can safely recover without the risk of addiction. I have also supported funding that will help our country find cures for cancer and Alzheimer’s. These diseases rob us of our loved ones and we must continue research that will bring us closer to finding life-saving treatments.

“Fixing prices is not a cure for our health care system. The government cannot unilaterally limit the price of medicine, food, or any other product without there being serious unintended consequences that make things worse than they were before,” said Congressman John Moolenaar. “New cures, treatments, and innovation will help all Americans live longer and healthier lives, and today’s legislation falls short of supporting those goals.”

"Medicare Advantage is crucial for Michigan seniors. As CMS considers updates to Medicare Advantage for 2023, it must ensure it will continue to provide high-quality, affordable health care for Michigan seniors," said Moolenaar.

“This is a victory for the American people, but President Biden must do more, and end his mandates on health care workers, Head Start teachers, and truck drivers. Biden’s top-down approach has not worked. His mandates could potentially cause larger labor shortages, and negatively affect the supply chains Michigan families depend on.”
