The most recent press release, "Murray On the Importance of Biden Plan to Ensure Testing is Free and Available Amid Omicron Threat," was submitted on Dec. 21, 2021.
The Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions published eight press releases the month before, marking a 125 percent increase for the current month.
The Committee has three subcommittees: children and families; employment and workplace safety; and primary health and retirement security.
Many of the prominent issues it deals with — the opioid crisis, skyrocketing drug and medical prices, college expenses — lend themselves to bipartisan cooperation.
