This past weekend, I delivered Congressional remarks to celebrate Billy Wagner the baseball player, but my speech at the ceremony was stories I had heard in Southwest Virginia about how good Billy Wagner the person is. A Tazewell park has been dedicated in his honor.

Republicans in Congress agree: fraudulently taking advantage of federal health care programs is WRONG! Thank you Dr. Oz and @HHSGov for working to protect these benefits, stop fraud and support our vulnerable populations.
SIGNED! ✍️🇺🇸 @VP Vance’s Pledge to Protect Americans from Fraud is a commonsense commitment, and I was glad to sign it. CMS will continue working with the @WHFraudTF to protect Americans, safeguard their benefits, and save taxpayers billions of dollars.
