If you get health coverage through Pennie or HealthCare.Gov, you’re facing a massive price hike – and the GOP majorities in Congress are just sitting on their hands.

They rushed to pass a tax cut for the rich, but are stalling on this. I & my Democratic colleagues will keep pressuring them to act!

What is the provider tax? How the Senate’s proposed Medicaid cuts could deepen the rural hospital crisis
All states except Alaska have at least one provider tax. A significant proportion of the revenue the taxes generate goes toward supporting rural hospitals.

Senator Alex Padilla is a good man and principled public servant.

The brazen and aggressive manhandling of Senator Padilla by the Trump administration is a sickening disgrace.

Anyone who assaulted the Senator should be held accountable.

No one is above the law.

This parade will cost at least the equivalent of 180 years worth of an NIH biomedical research grant.

They departed Texas 5 days ago.

What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel.
