I enjoyed my visit to the Minnesota State Fair today! 🎢 🎡
What's your favorite snack to eat and activity to do when visiting the state fair?
Mine is corn dogs and seeing butter sculptures.
Many administrations have tried to take on Big Pharma's exorbitant price gouging of seniors without success.
@POTUS and @VP promised to lower the costs of needed care and medicines – and they delivered.
Last week, I hit the road to highlight actions this Administration has taken to lower health care costs & ensure everyone can access the care they need — including those in rural communities.
We're #InvestingInAmerica to better health outcomes for everyone!
"It is tough and we owe everyone who's working to put food on our table the best to make sure that they're working under the safest conditions possible," @SecBecerra said.

.@SecBecerra: "We’re going to try to continue to build up community health care centers... President Biden and Vice President Harris have put more money into the federally qualified community health centers than any administration.”

"At HHS, we have made it a priority to increase access for everyone eligible for coverage. We continue to break barriers when it comes to enrollment, reaching record numbers of health coverage enrollment and the lowest uninsured rate – ever." https://t.co/PcYZW1N35U
On this day, 34 years ago, the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed.
As we celebrate the progress the #ADA has brought us, we must keep going. At HHS, we're committed to reducing health disparities & providing access to quality health care for all Americans.
Today, more people have health care coverage than at any other point in our country’s history, and we've lowered costs in historic ways: from capping insulin to negotiating with drug companies.
@POTUS will continue to fight so that every American has access to health care.
