The bipartisan bloc No. 2, offered by Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR), passed the House 262-168. It included just one health-related amendment from Reps. Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA) and Peter Meijer (R-MI). That amendment would codify recommendations included in a September HHS Office of the Inspector General report on pharmaceutical supply chain weaknesses.
Congresswoman Kim Schrier, M.D. (WA-08) and Suzanne Bonamici (OR-01) are reintroducing the Healthy Meal Time Act to reduce food waste in schools and further ensure that kids have the time to eat a proper meal.

Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici has represented the First Congressional District of Oregon since February of 2012. The district includes Washington, Yamhill, Clatsop, and Columbia counties and part of Multnomah County. We discuss pandemic issues, insurrection accountability and much more!
"The pandemic has made it really challenging to be a health care worker right now," said Kyla Siemens, who is in her second year studying to be a physician assistant at Pacific University's Hillsboro campus.

Suzanne Bonamici, D-Oregon, who shares Siemens' concern that a variety of factors will discourage people from entering the health care industry.
Bonamici spoke to students entering the health care field amid a global pandemic.
