The most recent press release, "Senators Murray, Warnock Push Efforts to Lower Cost of Lifesaving Drugs Like Insulin at Roundtable with WA and GA Patients," was submitted on March 31.
The Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions published 16 press releases the month before, marking a 93.8 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.
