The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation is not saving taxpayer dollars but rather has increased federal spending by billions of dollars.

I joined Rep. Jodey Arrington in sending a letter to GAO requesting an investigation into CMMI and its effect on the federal budget.

Access to radiology services are limited for many Americans.

It’s important we bring light to the challenges physicians & patients face to provide better health care.

I had a great time meeting some of my fellow Texans & was grateful to receive the RADPAC award.

Last week, I questioned Secretary Xavier Becerra on the FY 2025 Department of HHS Budget.

I met with Sanchana Shanmuga, a senior from Flower Mound and Congressional App Challenge winner.

Her app, Auditory, assists visually impaired students with school assignments by using three key features: learn, quiz, & scan. It’s no secret that Texas has the most incredible students.
