Health Care

Everyone has a right to affordable and accessible health care. That’s why, since coming to Congress, I have fought alongside my Democratic colleagues to defend, strengthen, and expand the Affordable Care Act, Medicare, and Medicaid.

I was proud to vote for President Biden’s landmark Inflation Reduction Act, which capped the out-of-pocket cost of prescription medication at $2,000 a year for seniors, gave Medicare the power to negotiate prescription drug prices, and helped lower the price of insulin to $35 a month. With this historic health care law, Democrats took on big pharma and won, delivering for the American people!

As the Trump Administration and Congressional Republicans continue attacking our health care system, from freezing NIH grants for life-saving medical research to targeting access to gender-affirming and reproductive health care, I am fighting back to protect access to affordable health care for all.

Serving on the Ways and Means Subcommittee on Health, which has jurisdiction over many aspects of our health care system, including Medicare and the Hospital Trust Fund, allows me to place Philadelphia at the forefront of national health care policy discussions. From bolstering our health care infrastructure and workforce to increasing access to healthy, nutritious foods, I’m committed to being a strong advocate for health care laws that give everyone in our community the access and resources they need to keep themselves and their families healthy and safe.
