During Small Business Week and at the start of National Beef Month, I was pleased to welcome representatives from Yoder Meats to our nation's capital for the House Committee on Small Business Showcase - just one example of the countless small businesses that flourish in the Sunflower State.
Burdensome regulations shouldn’t stand between patients and quality healthcare.
Unfortunately, as Congressman Nick LaLota shows, these regulations create an uneven playing field that disadvantages small healthcare providers.
The FDA approval process is far too burdensome and unsustainable for smaller firms, per Rep. Celeste Maloy.
Congress needs to work to remove some of these burdens without also getting in the way.
As Rep. Mark Alford lays out, when rural providers are hit with high costs, they have to close down, leaving patients stranded.
Burdensome regulations have an even more adverse effect on those in rural communities because patients have so little options if they close their doors.
“Doctors I’ve spoken with spend 65 to 90% of their time checking boxes that CMS has put in front of them.” - Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne
Only a fraction of their days are being spent actually doing the job they signed up to do: treating their patients.
As Congressman Dan Meuser points out, phasing out the R&D tax credit is extremely harmful for businesses developing new medicine.
It’s extremely expensive to develop new medicines, and phasing this out only makes it that much harder for small companies.

As Blaine Luetkemeyer lays out, the FDA approval process is currently entirely too long and cumbersome.
Shortening that process, in a common sense way, will help providers and patients.
