54 years ago, hundreds of brave men and women, including my friend and colleague Congressman John Lewis, were met with violence on the Edmund Pettis during their peaceful march from Selma, AL to the state capital of Montgomery to protest racist voting laws. We’ve come a long way since Bloody Sunday, but we still have work to do to ensure all Americans can exercise their right to vote. I’m proud and honored to work with Rep. Lewis in Congress today as we fight to #RestoreTheVote for all Americans.

I introduced the State Health Care Premium Reduction Act with Congresswoman Angie Craig to provide federal funding for states to create reinsurance programs, which support the costliest medical claims and help keep premiums down for everyone. Without them, insurers would have to charge higher premiums to cover the costs of sicker enrollees. Since day one, the Trump Administration has attacked Americans’ health care and their actions increased out-of-pocket costs. House Democrats can undo the damage by strengthening programs that work-- like reinsurance--to keep health insurance affordable.
