Recent bipartisan efforts in the U.S. Congress have focused on providing tax relief, reducing healthcare costs, and bolstering the economy through various legislative actions. The House has passed middle-class tax cuts aimed at providing relief to Granite Staters, with representatives urging the Senate to follow suit. Child care support has been addressed through the introduction of the Right Start Child Care and Education Act by Senator Shaheen and SenAngusKing, which seeks to reform the federal tax code to make child care more affordable. Efforts to reduce drug prices have been significant, with the Inflation Reduction Act enabling Medicare to negotiate drug prices for the first time, directly impacting the cost of medications like insulin, and challenging Big Pharma's pricing policies. The bipartisan Tax Relief for American Families & Workers Act has been supported to allow hardworking Californians to keep more of their earnings and remove tax penalties for large families while reforming the Child Tax Credit. The CHIPS and Science Act has also been highlighted, with an additional investment of $5 billion in microchip research and development aimed at creating jobs and ensuring America retains leadership in innovation. Additionally, a bipartisan working group has been announced to protect Medicare, with nearly 73,000 Ohioans benefiting from a cap on insulin costs at $35/month, as stated by Senator Sherrod Brown. Frank Pallone noted the act's role in job creation and maintaining America's competitive edge in research and development.
Insulin is a critical, life-saving medication. No one should ever have to ration it because they can’t afford it. That’s why I fought to cap insulin costs at $35/month for NV seniors. I'll keep working to lower costs for ALL Nevadans.
The CHIPS and Science Act is about jobs and innovation. I helped write this law to create more good-paying manufacturing jobs right here at home and to ensure America continues to lead in research and development for generations to come. https://t.co/MbdiuO8R3v
The Inflation Reduction Act is making a difference for working families in this country. From capping the cost of insulin to bringing Big Pharma to the table to lower drug costs, this legislation is putting money back in the pockets of hardworking Nevadans. https://t.co/ii35Rh3vx9
The high cost of prescription drugs is a burden on too many people. I'm proud to have voted to allow Medicare to negotiate down the price of the most expensive drugs, including lowering Insulin to just $35/month. Now, I'm continuing my work to expand these benefits to everyone.
After years of taking on Big Pharma to stop price gouging, we capped the cost of insulin for Ohioans on Medicare — because corporate greed shouldn’t get in the way of life-saving medication. Now, nearly 73,000 Ohioans pay less for insulin. https://t.co/W2DsfUcKEB
Medicare is a lifeline for Nevada seniors, and I'm taking action to protect it. This week, I announced a bipartisan working group with my Senate colleagues to develop long-term solutions that will ensure doctors will continue to serve our seniors with Medicare.
Our tax code should encourage families to grow, not penalize them when they do. The Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act removes tax penalties for large families and reforms the Child Tax Credit to benefit working families.
I helped pass bipartisan legislation to bolster America's domestic computer chip manufacturing & bring that industry back. These investments will help create good-paying jobs & ensure our workers have the training they need to take advantage of them. https://t.co/F2JmIceYZ0
America invented the semiconductor. It’s time to bring manufacturing – and the jobs that come with it – home. My Administration is investing an additional $5 billion in microchip research, development, and workforce, as part of the implementation of our CHIPS and Science Act.
Big Pharma’s high prices puts people’s health at risk and breaks the bank accounts of American families. Enough. https://t.co/kQttdiiRdc
In 2022, Big Pharma tried to stop us from capping the cost of insulin, but we didn't back down. And now, Nevadans across the state are seeing the benefits every time they fill their prescription. And in the Senate, I'm continuing to push to lower drug costs for everyone.
A highly-trained, skilled trade workforce is essential to job creation and economic growth. As co-chair of the Congressional Building Trades Caucus, I am proud to join this bipartisan effort with fellow co-chair @DonaldNorcross to further invest.. https://t.co/e2FPgS7wyX
Making life more affordable is a top priority. That's why I was proud to support the bipartisan Tax Relief for American Families & Workers Act to let hardworking Californians I represent keep more of their hard-earned money. https://t.co/gVuvtShg7O
For too long, Big Pharma has put profits over people, putting lifesaving medication out of reach for millions of Americans. Democrats said no more, and passed the #InflationReductionAct. Now, Medicare is negotiating the prices of common, costly drugs for the first time EVER. https://t.co/wpPMax5MP0
Child care is vital to our families, workforce and economic development. Today, @SenAngusKing and I introduced our Right Start Child Care and Education Act to reform the federal tax code and help ensure families everywhere can access affordable child care.https://t.co/PYnuSIf7bD
I was proud to join a large bipartisan majority in the House to support these middle-class tax cuts to provide real relief to Granite Staters. I urge the Senate to join us in passing this important bipartisan legislation. https://t.co/ppfdRYqLQx
