It was an honor to testify at @SenatorWarnock@SenateAging’s field hearing, along side advocates, physicians and seniors, on the importance of lowering prescription drug costs for our seniors. #lowerdrugpricesnow#gapol

.@ChuckEfstration: “We have people deciding if they’re going to pay medical bills or their homestead property tax."
So let’s #ExpandMedicaid to give 336,000 health coverage, create 51,000 jobs/yr, and put $3.6 billion into the pockets of Georgians — nearly $900 per household.
A Trump pollster found that 78% of swing voters—and even 78% of Trump’s own supporters—want to extend ACA tax credits to keep premiums low.
Republicans have spent years attacking the ACA, but their own voters support making health care more affordable.

Not all love stories have happy endings—especially when billionaires and politicians put profits over your health care.
This Valentine’s Day, don’t fall for their bad policies.
Georgians can’t afford their health care costs to increase by hundreds of dollars a month. Mr. Kennedy is more interested in chasing conspiracy theories than chasing solutions—and I can’t vote for a nominee who isn’t going to lower costs for Georgians.
I’m very concerned about Mr. Kennedy’s ability to lead @HHSgov given his past statements about the CDC, which employs thousands of Georgians and is critical for national health.
Should someone who traffics in conspiracy theories lead the nation’s largest health organization?
Seniors shouldn’t have to choose between food and medication. I worked to cap the cost of prescription drugs for seniors—now Trump’s spending freeze would increase everyday costs for seniors.
At yesterday’s @SenateAgingDems hearing, I asked how the freeze could impact seniors:
"The HHS Secretary must strengthen public health systems, not dismantle them. They must lead with science, not conspiracy theories. Kennedy’s track record disqualifies him from this critical role. We must speak up to save lives." 👏👏@KimforGeorgia https://t.co/3CL9VuOKPd
Medicaid covers one in five Americans, including kids, moms, seniors, people of color, rural Americans, and people with disabilities. #HandsOffMedicaid
Last year we proved that negotiating for lower drug prices works.
Now we plan to build on that record by negotiating for lower prices for 15 additional important drugs for seniors.

Without action, millions will see their health care premiums skyrocket and thousands will lose coverage. @SenatorShaheen, @SenatorBaldwin, and @RepUnderwood’s bill to make ACA tax credits permanent is critical to keeping care affordable for families. https://t.co/CTNijVt7D8
Game changer is right. Millions of seniors will finally see relief at the pharmacy counter. Medicare’s $2,000 cap on drug costs is here, thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act. 👏
RFK Jr.’s fringe conspiracies are dangerous. He fueled deadly outbreaks, rejects science, and opposes lifesaving vaccines. He is unfit for HHS. #StopRFK
These statements by Donald Trump prove just how dangerous RFK Jr. is to the American health care system. If he gets his way and stops or impedes childhood vaccination programs, it will lead to a resurgence of illnesses like polio and measles. People will die. #StopRFK
BREAKING: The CBO just sent a letter stating that if the enhanced premium tax credits are not extended, almost four million Americans will lose their health care, and premiums will increase by up to 8% for millions more.
RFK Jr. in charge of health? 🚨 A dangerous, unqualified pick that puts lives at risk. Doctors, experts, and the media agree: this is a disaster waiting to happen. Americans deserves better. #StopRFK
