As Acting Chairman of the Ways and Means Subcommittee on Human Resources, I will be holding a hearing this afternoon examining proposals to reduce child deaths due to abuse and neglect. Every year, over 1500 children die due to abuse or neglect in our country. This issue is a tragic one, but also one that can be avoided.

In June, my bill to repeal the dangerous new tax on American medical device innovation passed with a bipartisan vote in the House - including every member of the Minnesota delegation.
Now it is time for the Senate to act. A letter signed ...by 18 Democrat Senators was sent to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) asking to delay this job-crushing tax due to the overall poor economy as well as a lack of guidance for compliance.See More
It is encouraging to see bipartisan and bicameral support growing to stop the implementation of the medical device tax. READ my statement on the letter below:Congressman Erik Paulsen shared a link.

- On the 71st anniversary of the attacks on Pearl Harbor, we take time to celebrate the courage and honor the sacrifice of America's greatest generation. Over 16 million men and women served our country in uniform during World War II and hundreds of thousands of Americans would lay down their lives in defense of freedom.
Today, take a moment to thank the WWII veterans in your life for their service and remember all those who have served - and continue to serve - in our armed forces.

On January 1st, consumers taking advantage of flexible spending accounts (FSAs) will see the amount they are allowed to set aside for their own healthcare needs cut in half. WCCO's Esme Murphy reports on my bill to stop that cut and ensure that Minnesotans can continue to use their own healthcare dollars for their healthcare needs.
