One giant health care company could own your doctor, your insurer, your pharmacy, AND your pharmacy benefit manager. So, the same entity gives your prescription, fills your prescription, decides if your prescription is covered, and "negotiates" the cost of your prescription. How is this allowed? I've introduced the Break Up Big Medicine Act to stop health conglomerates from stacking the deck to maximize profits while patients pay more for worse care.

Taxpayers shouldn’t pay twice for overlapping work. CMS has proposed reducing Medicare payments for overlapping services billed during the same visit. Thank you, @DrOzCMS for tackling unnecessary spending. This administration is doing a great job at cutting down on costs.

Who knew Jack Smith was a Caitlin Clark fan?

Lowering drug prices for every American is something we can all come to the table on — that’s why every governor is all-in on GENEROUS. President Donald J. Trump was the only one to actually bring them to the table.

Dr Oz: "CMS is announcing a temporary national moratorium. There will be no new brokers for Obamacare in this country for the next months."

Student-athletes should actually be students. The Protect College Sports Act doesn’t guarantee that. I filed an amendment requiring athletes to be enrolled and making progress toward a degree. We are seeing too many cases where the “student” in student-athlete is becoming optional.

$40 TRILLION in national debt. Social Security is headed for insolvency in 2032. The clock is ticking. The longer we wait to tackle these issues, the harder they become to fix.

A hospital CFO answering a survey: the average physician generates $2.4 million a year. The same CFO in your comp meeting: your division loses money. Two books. The hidden one holds what your work produces. The shown one is the argument for why you cannot have it.

And just like that, it’s all gone.

The US youth soccer scene is criticized for prioritizing wealthy parents' profits over actual player growth.

Shame on the @AmDiabetesAssn for forcefully removing these physicians and experts including the @DiabetesCareADA EIC for simply distributing their data driven editorial on this admin's dismantling of biomedical research and its impact on diabetes patients: diabetesjournals.org/care/ar…

Medicare for All means no premium, no co-pay, no deductible. Doesn't matter if you get a job, lose a job, turn 26, turn 65, get married, get divorce — it is there for you.
