Health alongside Traditional Health care services. My amendment provides Health Care Services administration with the resources that will allow them to study this. Id like to now yield one minute to the distinguished gentlelady from california, ms. Lee. The chair the gentlewoman from california is recognized for one minute. Mrs. Lee thank you very much. First, let me thank the gentleman from massachusetts for offering this extremely important amendment and i fully support it. Social factors such as poverty, substandard house, unsafe neighborhoods are critical drivers of health outcomes. I share the gentlemans concern and agree that we need to better understand how environmental conditions such as these play a role in human health and let me just say to the gentleman, we worked very closely with the black, hispanic, and Asian Pacific american caucus in terms of our Health Strategy with regard to communities of color, to close health disparities. This amendment is so important in those e

And right now, back to work with metro back on track. The metrorail system is up and running again today after that complete shutdown for emergency safety inspections. News4s Megan Mcgrath is live at the shady grove metro station, talking to riders out there. I guess theyre pretty happy its open again.
