Let me be very clear, many Nebraskans have been harmed by the heavy hand of the Federal Government.

This is not a partisan issue. This is not a political issue. This is an issue of hardship.

I have dedicated my entire life to helping farmers and ranchers, and I just honestly couldn't believe what I saw during the summer of 2018.

Let me be clear: That is not an attack on the ACA; that is a companion to the ACA by providing our members with another insurance option.

It concerns me greatly when we see an increase in premiums to levels that are--I never even thought imaginable.

There are a lot of Nebraskans, especially in the agriculture community, who are buying their health insurance through the individual market.

The prolonged downturn in the worldwide energy markets has greatly impacted OMSA members.

When enforced, the Jones Act works as intended.

These sites are really the moral and legal obligation of the Federal Government, and history in Washington State has shown that funding is really the primary thing that drives cleanup faster.

My bill would exempt taxpayers from the individual mandate if they would lose health coverage because of the failure of the co-ops in their local area.

More than 650 counties, largely in rural areas, are projected to be covered by only one health insurance provider in 2017.
