Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding.

The Lower Costs, More Transparency Act is part of our commitment to supporting our patients, creating access to affordable medications, and making the healthcare process easier to access for literally all Americans.

Included in this legislation is my bill, the Strengthening Community Care Act, which would reauthorize support for community health centers. These centers are a vital source of care for over 30 million Americans and nearly 240,000 individuals in Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District.

By reducing barriers like cost, lack of insurance, or distance, community health centers are able to provide high-quality treatment to the patients who need it the most: the patients who are underinsured or not insured at all.

Mr. Speaker, I urge all of my colleagues to support the Lower Costs, More Transparency Act, and I will be voting ``yes'' for this important piece of legislation.
