Republicans, under pressure from antiabortion advocates, have insisted that any extension of ACA subsidies should include more restrictions on abortion.

Today, I had the honor of testifying for the DC Coalition on Long Term Care regarding aging issues before Councilmember Anita Bonds. The city is encountering financial hurdles following reduced tax revenue post-pandemic, changes in Medicaid and potentially Medicare aid and federal staff reductions.
