in my State we don't have-- our farmers struggle oftentimes with finding affordable healthcare.

isn't it true that by decreasing the subsidies, which was one of the ways that my colleagues across the aisle sabotaged the ACA, it only exacerbates the problem?

It was our expectation, Congressman Kelly and I, and our hope that, after reviewing the model licensing standards, the States would modify their own standards to address any inappropriate barriers to licensing relatives caring for children.

When I first became a Member of Congress, my top priority was job creation.
