This bill offers childcare; educational opportunities from pre-K to post-grad; and the first belated, substantial response to the climate crisis. My top healthcare priority is providing assistance to 2 million Texans out of 6 million Americans who were denied healthcare by sorry Republican Governors. Families left out and left behind can finally see a family physician. From my bill to strengthen Medicare, we at least cover hearing care, which is important to reducing depression and dementia.
