I have a profound reverence for life and an abiding respect for choice. I believe a patient's room is too small a place for a patient, her doctor, and the Federal Government. Healthcare decisions should be made by a patient in consultation…
Let`s cap the cost of insulin to $35.00 per month, in terms of out of pocket costs.
Our Congress will be judged by history on the basis of what we do on this issue.
Even on my worst days, I`m deeply honored to represent the people of Georgia in the United States Senate.
Voting rights, a preservative of all of the rights and all of the issues we care about whether we`re talking about capping the costs of insulin or dealing with climate change or dealing with a livable wage.
Medicaid is one of the most critical safety net programs in our country, and it was created to expand access to health care for low-income children or families or people with disability.
However, that number would be higher if my home State of Georgia would finally expand Medicaid, expand this lifeline program to more low-income individuals.

I see my work as grounded in serving others and my community--and that's what CDFIs and MDIs are doing: they are serving others and the community.
The unequal burden that COVID-19 and climate change has placed on communities of color is not coincidental.
If we are to have an economy that works for all Americans, the Federal Reserve Board needs to look more like all Americans.
The evidence is there. These costs are being borne most acutely by everyday Georgians and small businesses.
Georgians are feeling the rise and the crunch of rising costs on their everyday lives.
