There’s bill in the Senate called the Health Care Affordability Act that would make these tax credits permanent. I’m a cosponsor, as are most Democrats, but the real question is if Republicans will get on board – or if they’ll let people’s health care costs shoot up.
Congress will have to act. But history shows us that Republicans won’t lift a finger when it comes to the ACA. This time could be no different.   Millions would lose coverage. Millions would see their rates go up. People will forego care because they just can’t afford it.
I want to talk about health care. I can’t lie – I’m worried.   No Republican has ever voted to improve the foundations of the Affordable Care Act. Over the last few years, Democrats alone made updates to expand who is eligible AND cut out-of-pocket costs.   Both expire in 2025.
I will always start from the place that I believe people should have the decision-making power about their own health care and their reproductive health. That decision making power should rest with the individual, not with the government.
When will Republicans attempt to cut Title X funding (which is the only federal program to provide comprehensive family planning services, like birth control), access to IVF and even things like Plan B?
Two things I’m going to be watching closely when it comes to preserving access to reproductive care under a Trump Admin: 1) The Comstock Act (Medication Abortion) 2) Title X Funding (Family Planning)
Good news: We’re connecting 38 businesses and 147 farms in Pine County, Minnesota to high-speed broadband. That’s over 1,000 people who will finally access high-speed internet, something often mistaken as a luxury when in reality – it’s a necessity.

America wouldn’t work without our teachers. I think everyone can remember moments as a kid where a teacher had a big impact on us.   American Education Week celebrates and honors those who work every day to make a difference for our students.
This is an example of what community investment should look like. Where constituents come to us with their unique needs and ideas, and we use our power in Washington to make them a reality. I was proud to be a part of the work to get this done.

This facility is a federally qualified health center — meaning they will never turn a patient away or deny them care because they can’t pay. Because everyone deserves the chance live a happy, healthy life.

Today we broke ground for a new Southside Community Health Services clinic. This brand new facility with state-of-the-art equipment will offer medical care, mental health care, dental and vision services to 18,000 patients in South Minneapolis.
Senator Smith laughs and claps at the groundbreaking site between Bremer Chief People and Culture Officer Colette Campbell and Southside CEO Ann Cazaban
This is ridiculous. Ghost networks are deceptive and just make it harder to access mental health care. Insurance companies should be held accountable for putting up these barriers. We need to pass my bill with @wyden.senate.gov and go after insurers that don’t keep their directories up to date.
Have you ever called a mental health provider listed in your insurer's directory, but couldn't make an appointment because the information was wrong? You're not alone. Regulators know that insurance directories are full of errors. Here's what I found. 🧵 www.propublica.org/article/ghos...
We could all use some good news. The Rural Energy for America Program I championed has funded 250+ clean energy projects for rural communities and farmers across Minnesota this year. Saves money — and helps rural communities across the country.
