There really is no place like home, and the commitment, energy, and passion shown by the Aroostook Agency on Aging helps Maine’s seniors stay in the communities they love. As @SenateAging Chairman, I was delighted to speak at the Agency’s annual meeting in Caribou.

I voted to block a rule that expands the duration of certain health insurance plans that do not have to cover pre-existing conditions. We must work together to lower premiums while retaining consumer protections. https://www.collins.senate.gov/newsroom/senator-collins-votes-protect-individuals-pre-existing-conditions …

Thank you, @SenAlexander, for your strong support. This new law will help reduce the cost of prescription drugs.https://twitter.com/SenAlexander/status/1050103464498483200 …

Today the president signed into law a bill I authored with my friend @clairecmc to ban pharmacy “gag clauses” that concealed the lowest price from patients, causing them to overpay. https://bit.ly/2IPjcN9 

Who would think that using your debit card to buy your Rx drugs could be less expensive than using your insurance card? It’s counterintuitive. Americans have the right to know which payment method provides the most savings when purchasing their prescription drugs.

Great news that the Old Town mill has been purchased by ND Paper and hopes to have it up and running in a few months, creating more than 100 jobs. https://www.collins.senate.gov/newsroom/collins-king-applaud-purchase-old-town-mill-nd-paper …

I am pleased to hear Mark Judge has indicated he would cooperate with investigators.

I’m delighted that my bill to ban gag clauses that prevent pharmacists from telling patients how to pay the lowest possible price for medication is headed to the President’s desk for signature. This new law will help lower the cost of prescription drugs and save consumers money.

The AG made the correct decision to recuse himself from the DOJ investigation into Russia’s attempts to interfere in our elections. The Deputy AG plays a critical role in overseeing the investigation headed by special counsel Mueller.

I’m very concerned by reports that Deputy AG Rosenstein will either be fired or forced to resign.

I hope that Dr. Ford will reconsider and testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday. It is my understanding that the Committee has offered to hold either a public or a private session, whichever would make her more comfortable.
