I secured $425,000 for the Bregy schoolyard renovation, so it was great to join the Trust for Public Land at their DesignPhiladelphia Schoolyard tour to see how the vision of engaged students and community members for a climate-resilient, community space could come to fruition.
I'm proud to support my PA colleague @houlahan.house.gov and Rep. Goodlander in demanding that the DOD reverse policies that would undo decades of progress & make it more difficult to address discrimination and harassment against women in our armed forces. These policies compromise our readiness.
I stood with my @demwomencaucus.bsky.social colleagues to honor the victims &survivors of Domestic Violence. Domestic violence is a serious problem in our society and shouldn't be minimized or ignored by the rich & powerful. We must protect the essential programs & resources that empower survivors.
Lafayette, a peer specialist helping people in addiction, said that Medicaid allowed him to break out of a cycle of addiction and lead a productive life. The cuts to Medicaid will take away these resources for other Americans in need.
Max was an ER doctor at a front-line hospital that closed partly due to a lack of Medicaid funding. He spoke about how people can’t access emergency care, have to travel further for less care, or are unable to reach the closest hospital.
Andrea, a small business owner with diabetes, currently pays $700 a month for healthcare, and she anticipates these costs will go up to $1600 next year. Without ACA credits, she’s afraid she’ll have to close her small business, giving up her dream.
Lauri and her husband, small business owners and cancer survivors, will see their insurance premiums skyrocket from $1,000 to $2,000 a month if ACA credits expire. They are scared that they won't be able to afford insurance when an 80% increase kicks in at the end
Young adults are facing the highest rate of unemployment in America. They can't afford groceries and housing because of tariffs. They're about to lose healthcare insurance because Republicans in DC are refusing to end the government shutdown and extend the ACA tax credits.
House Republicans may be on vacation and refusing to negotiate with @housedemocrats.bsky.social to protect Americans' healthcare, but this afternoon I was able to meet with future leaders, students from Colgate University, to discuss the need for bipartisanship and a range of policy issues.
We heard powerful stories of how skyrocketing healthcare costs will hurt community members, including small business owners, seniors, cancer survivors, people with diabetes, families caring for disabled children, people in recovery, and more.
Republicans’ refusal to come to work and solve the healthcare crisis they caused is going to affect all of us. Americans will face higher health costs, hospital closures, and longer wait times, if Congressional Republicans don’t get back to work.
