We are called to order, subcommittee on oversight. Thank everyone for joining us a today. We are holding this hearing virtually if you didnt realize it and compliance with the regulations for Remote Committee proceedings her House Resolution 965. Before we turn to todays important topic, i want to remind members of the few procedures and help you navigate this virtual hearing. First, consistent with regulations, the committee will keep microphones muted to limit background noise. Members are responsible for unmuting themselves when they seek recognition or when recognized for their five minutes. Second, members and witnesses must have their cameras on at all times. If you need to step away from the proceedings, please leave your camera on rather than logging out. Third, we will dispense with our practice of observing the given to roll and instead go in order of seniority for questioning, alternating between minority and majority, beginning with members of the oversight subcommittee fir
Fmr vp biden hello, minnesota jessica, thank you for being here and sharing your story. Unfortunately, so many other americans have stories like yours, faced with health problems, fiting for their lives and forced think not only about facing the battle but how they can afford the treatment. While Insurance Companies come in at the most vulnerable moments for you and ur family members. I remember when my son beau was lying in the hospital after he came home from iraq after a year. He had stage iv glioblastoma. They told him not whether he was going to love but how long what he live. As he lay there, fighting for his life, fighting to hang on, i thought to m myself, what wouldt be like if in his suffering, my Insurance Company or his Insurance Company was able to say you have run out of , coverage. Times up. You are on your own. Folks, its a question no one should have to face in america. That is why i fought so hard and why obamacare was such a big thing. It is unconscionable. [honking]
