NEW: More than 36,400 Virginia Medicare beneficiaries are paying less for their insulin this year thanks to our #InflationReductionAct. They're saving an average of $510 annually with the new $35/month cap—just one of the ways we've lowered health care costs for #VA10 families.

A new report shows the $35 monthly insulin cap in historic law, effective January 1 for Medicare Part D, would have saved 1.5 million people with Medicare an average of $500 dollars on their insulin in 2020! View the report here: hhs.gov/about/news/202

I’m devastated for the families and communities torn apart by the recent mass shootings in California. We cannot let up in our fight to end gun violence. That’s why I’m pushing for legislation in Congress to ban assault weapons and enact universal background checks.

Seniors on Medicare are now paying only $35/month for insulin. But House Republicans want to take us backwards—introducing legislation to repeal the sweeping provisions in our #InflationReductionAct which are lowering drug costs. We can't let them win.

Good news for #VA10 families—inflation has dropped for 6 months in a row. As prices continue to come down, Virginians are already seeing the benefits of our #InflationReductionAct on their budgets, which is helping save money on health care & energy bills.

Reinstating the Holman Rule is a disastrous policy not only for the well-being of our federal workers but also the essential work that they perform for every American. This backwards policy should’ve stayed dead—and I’ll fight it every step of the way.

I'm in awe of Serena Liebengood's advocacy for greater police mental health resources after her husband, Officer Howie Liebengood, died by suicide following 1/6. It's been an honor to work with her to establish the new health and wellness center in Howie's memory.

Thanks to our #InflationReductionAct, Virginia seniors on Medicare now won’t pay more than $35 a month for their insulin. No one should have to choose between lifesaving medication or putting food on the table. I’m proud we’ve finally delivered on this longstanding priority.
