Ben Cline voted NO to the Consumer Fuel Price Gouging Prevention Act

Ben Cline voted NO to the Consumer Fuel Price Gouging Prevention Act  

The Bill summary says:

This bill prohibits any person from selling, during a proclaimed energy emergency, a consumer fuel at a price that (1) is unconscionably excessive, and (2) indicates that the seller is exploiting the emergency to increase prices unreasonably. The President may issue a proclamation of such an emergency that specifies the consumer fuel and geographic area covered and how long the proclamation applies.

The bill provides for enforcement of these provisions by the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general. Civil penalties collected by the commission through such enforcement must be used to provide assistance under the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program.

Additionally, the commission must investigate whether the price of gasoline is being manipulated through reducing refinery capacity or other manipulative practices. The commission also must establish a Transportation Fuel Monitoring and Enforcement Unit to collect, monitor, and analyze crude oil and transportation fuel market data.

The bill further includes specified transportation fuels within the prohibitions against (1) manipulative market practices, and (2) reporting false price information. It also increases the penalty for violations of those prohibitions.

Finally, the Energy Information Administration must survey energy companies to facilitate transparent and competitive crude oil and transportation fuel markets.


In his mind, I guess voting against the bill allows Ben Cline to blame Biden for high fuel prices.

Ben Cline votes NO to lowering the cost of insulin and all medications

  Ben Cline votes NO to lowering the cost of insulin and all medications In my 25 years as a Nurse Practitioner in Virginia, I have treated many patients with diabetes who require insulin to live.  Uncontrolled diabetes has a staggering cost to the individual and their family as well as to the health care system and nation in general.  It can result in increased risk of complications such as blindness, vascular disease and amputations, heart attacks, and death.  Financial costs can include the cost of personal bankruptcy, unnecessary hospitalizations, loss of work, increased insurance premiums, etc.   This is why I cannot fathom why the Virginia 6th Congressional District Republican Representative Ben Cline voted NO on March 31 2022 on The Affordable Insulin Now Act and voted NO to the Lower Drug Costs Now Act of 2019. He also voted NO again to the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 which allows Medicare to negotiate lower drug costs, caps the price of insulin at $35 per month and caps

Ben Cline votes NO to supporting Health Department infrastructure

  Ben Cline votes NO to supporting Health Department infrastructure In my 25 years as a Nurse Practitioner in Virginia I have relied heavily on the Virginia Department of Health (including local offices) and the CDC to help me protect my patients from deadly diseases such as measles, tuberculosis, meningitis, pneumonia, influenza and others including Covid-19.  Primary strategies for that protection include patient education and vaccinations.   On November 30 2021 Virginia 6th Congressional District Republican Representative Ben Cline voted NO against passing the Immunization Infrastructure Modernization Act of 2021.   This bill expands CDC and public health department capabilities in the form of improving immunization information systems technology that help health care providers like me to protect children and families from some of these diseases through certain mandatory vaccines (Virginia mandates certain vaccines for children to enter school) and to provide education and assist th

Ben Cline votes against your right to contraception and increases your risk of health problems

Ben Cline voted NO to the Right to Contraception Act . This bill protects an individual's ability to access contraceptives, engage in contraception, and protects a health care provider's ability to provide contraceptives, contraception, and information related to contraception. By voting no he denies contraceptives of all types including condoms which are used to prevent pregnancy as well as preventing sexually transmitted infections (STI).   Ben Cline doesn't care if you get an STI ? I hope not. Hormonal contraceptives (oral contraceptives, hormonal patches, intravaginal rings, and IUDs) are used medically for other conditions including dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB), dysmenorrhea (painful periods), oligomenorrhea (infrequent periods), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), uterine fibroids, endometriosis, acne and others.  Hormonal imbalances can even contribute to worsening of migraine headaches. The last time I looked, Ben Cline does not have an NP or MD or PA behind h
