A record number of Americans igning up for affordable health coverage through the ACA is great news & a clear indication that the tax credits Democrats passed to lower premiums are WORKING. We'll keep fighting to make health care more affordable & accessible. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/08/u...
President Jimmy Carter is lying in state at the Capitol this week as we honor his lifetime of public service and dedication to making our country and the world a better place. He will be remembered for his kindness and always leading with compassion. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01...
Republicans want to extend the Trump tax cuts that gave huge handouts to billionaires and mega-corporations on the backs of working families. Repost if you agree our tax dollars should be going toward better schools & health care—not lining the pockets of the 1%.
It's time we stop changing the clocks. I reintroduced my bipartisan bill to make Daylight Saving Time permanent so we have more sunlight during the most productive hours of the day. This is good for families in WA state & across the country—& I'll work with anyone to get it done.
Right now, folks on Medicare Part D will have their out-of-pocket costs on prescription drugs capped at $2,000 a year, thanks to Democrats' Inflation Reduction Act. I was in Seattle to hear firsthand how this change will make a difference for seniors! www.krem.com/article/news...
One medical emergency shouldn't throw a family's entire finances into chaos. This move to erase medical debt from credit reports is an important step to help struggling families & stop debt collectors from abusing the system. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
POTUS protecting the Pacific coast & other areas from offshore drilling is an important step to protect WA state's coastal communities & our environment. I will always fight to protect our oceans & stop GOP efforts to put Big Oil profits before people & our planet. abcnews.go.com/Politics/bid...
As we will certify the election day today—Donald Trump has been re-elected President. It’s already painfully clear he hopes he can paper over the dark chapter he wrote in our nation’s history. But no action he takes can erase the past, unless we let it.
Today, we will certify the results of the last election, a process we must never take for granted. We saw four years ago, just how fragile democracy can be. It was a dark day. One that must always be remembered clearly. Read my full statement ⬇️
Filling out the FAFSA now takes as few as 10 minutes to complete! This is the only way to unlock federal dollars and grants—and I worked hard to make the process easier and expand eligibility so more people can get the support they need to pursue higher education. www.heraldnet.com/news/fill-ou...
As we start the 119th Congress, know I'm committed as ever to fighting for the people of WA state & their values—everything from protecting workers' rights, building an economy that works for everyone, ensuring access to quality & affordable health care and child care, and more. Let's get to work.
For too long, women's health has been underinvested in and understudied. NIH’s new platform highlighting women's health research is a needed step in the right direction to make sure patients and providers can better get the information they need. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2024/...
Spread the word: the Medicare prescription drug cost cap is in effect NOW. I was in Seattle today with Rep. Kim Schrier to make sure WA state seniors know about this automatic change that caps out of pocket drug costs for Medicare at $2,000 per year—& that every Republican voted against.
Senator Murray is standing in the right of the frame at a wood podium with two blue signs on front that both say, "Democrats Deliver Lower Drug Costs." Congresswoman Kim Schrier is standing behind the Senator in the right background and two other people are standing on the left looking on. The white wall behind everyone has a large TV with three signs on each side, all saying, "Democrats Deliver Lower Drug Costs" and there is an American flag on the left edge of the frame.
HUGE: Prescription drug costs for seniors on Medicare Part D are now capped at $2,000 a year.    While every single Republican voted against the bill to make this happen, Democrats have and will continue working to lower health care costs.
