Working together, we can simultaneously stop abusive drug prices, foster innovation and advance health care for all Americans.

I was honored to present "The Future of Prescription Drug Pricing Policy" at the recent @IFEBP Conference, the leading annual gathering of labor union employee benefit plans.

#DisabilityInclusion is a business advantage for companies. It is a win-win for shareholders and people with disabilities. I enjoyed discussing the importance of disability inclusion today with @TedKennedyJR & Heather Lavallee @Voya. #ESGInvestment2023

I met human rights champion @AdulurKhan from @odhikar_bd when I was in #Bangladesh. I am appalled that he is now imprisoned with Nasiruddin Elan, in retaliation for their advocacy. #FreeAdilanElan.

Thanks to the ADA, the exclusion and segregation of people with disabilities is now viewed as societal discrimination, not the consequences of the disability itself. #ADA

My recent Op-Ed makes the case for why it is time to measure and include disability status in all corporate diversity efforts, including the boardroom.

Only 4.5% of workers self-identify as having a disability, despite comprising at least 20% of our population. People with disabilities are still afraid to disclose their true identities for fear of bias and discrimination. https://t.co/EmC6jDFFaU

Segregation of people with disabilities is a form of unlawful discrimination. Children should be able to live at home. https://t.co/bGmaKxJGLC

The Kennedys will always celebrate the life of our longtime friend, Tony Bennett—pictured here with playwrights Tony Kushner, Dominique Morisseau, and my Aunt Jean and me following a NYC concert.

Proud to kickoff the 2023 @DisabilityIN Annual Conference in Orlando together with over 2,500 business partners of the disability rights movement! #DisabilityInclusion

[Ted Kennedy Jr. @TedKennedyJR]

Partnering with my father, he led passage of many of our nation's civil rights laws advancing disability justice, and was awarded the Profiles in Courage award in 1992. May he RIP.

[Ted Kennedy Jr. @TedKennedyJR]

The disability rights community mourns the loss of one of our most steadfast champions, Gov. Lowell Weicker.

If "bodily autonomy" is the reason, then why not "assisted suicide" for all? Answer: https://t.co/QQAoELAj5y

[Ted Kennedy Jr. @TedKennedyJR]

Why are people with disabilities singled out as candidates for "assisted suicide," when we spend millions to fund emergency hotlines and suicide prevention programs for everyone else?

[Ted Kennedy Jr. @TedKennedyJR]

I was honored to deliver the 2023 Rockefeller Lecture at the Center for Medicare Advocacy's (@CMAorg) Annual Summit in Wash, D.C. We must eliminate the significant health care disparities faced by pw disabilities to realize true health equity.
