Annie Kuster: “I want to commend my colleague, Marcia Fudge, who had an amendment that we did pass on food deserts.”

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

I was an original cosponsor of the USA Telecommunications Act and worked to include it in the CHIPS and Science Act last year.

That would have a devastating impact on our workforce as well.

Picture a family who loses coverage and is unable to access care, preventative services, behavioral healthcare, necessary medications because of factors completely outside their control.
