Annie Kuster: “This is an important issue facing all of us in the Congress, and I really appreciate your time.”

When we passed the American Rescue Plan, my legislation was included to extend Medicaid postpartum coverage from 60 days to 1 full year.

I am the cochair of the bipartisan Rural Broadband Caucus, and I share your mission to bring internet access to every community.

Estimates find that as many as 15 million Americans could lose health insurance coverage because of these redeterminations, including 6.8 million who would still be eligible for coverage and incorrectly lose their Medicaid.

A national strategy will maximize the impact of those broadband programs by directing Federal funding to communities that are unserved or underserved and need it most.
