A specialist's filings
She serves as vice chair of the Energy and Commerce health subcommittee, and the bills track that seat closely: the PBM Act on pharmacy benefit managers, the TRUTH in Coverage Act, the STOP Act, the SECURED Act, and a measure on chemical abortion. This is a member legislating almost entirely inside one jurisdiction.
Of the 50 most recent of those, 48 currently sit at Introduced.
Where she leaves the conference
Her voting departures have nothing to do with health. They arise on the defense authorization and on the State Department funding measure, in amendment after amendment where she backed changes the Republican majority would not accept.
