The SCORE Act is not what we think it is. It's not the solution for the athlete. There's a lot of people scoring. Two big divisions and their commissioners, they're scoring. The NCAA, they're scoring. Apparently private equity is scoring. But who's not scoring is the athletes.
Right now, Congress needs to act. Families who buy health coverage on ACA exchanges are threatened by large increases in health insurance premiums – including 1 in 13 Jefferson County residents.
Families are still reeling from sky-high inflation on everyday expenses like electricity, housing, and groceries. Congress must act immediately to extend the expiring Affordable Care Act tax credits or healthcare will be added to their list of financial burdens. (3/3)
They face an impossible choice: Pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars more next year for the exact same plan, downgrade their coverage, or forego health insurance altogether. (2/3)
The window-shopping period for purchasing health insurance on Washington Healthplanfinder is beginning and unfortunately Washingtonians are going to see skyrocketing premiums statewide. (1/3)
Students will face much higher costs if enhanced premium tax credits aren’t extended -- a 26-year-old part-time student in Eastern WA would see his health insurance premiums quadruple.
We've made some big investments to grow the middle class, like in the CHIPS & Science Act. But now we have a president who isn't embracing that policy -- he's making things more expensive with tariffs, and that’s making it harder to grow the middle class.
Today is #SpiritDay — a day to take a stand against bullying and show support for our #LGBTQ+ youth. Too many LGBTQ+ young people still face harassment at school. That is wrong and unacceptable, and it must end.
Spirit Day: Support LGBTQ youth in a united stand against bullying
If enhanced premium tax credits aren’t extended, new costs will hit some seniors hard. A 60-year-old woman in Yakima County earning $41K/year with a husband on Medicare would see her annual health insurance costs skyrocket from $70 to $1,945.
Net Premium Increase for a 60-Year-Old in Eastern WA: 2,600%
We're already facing the cost of Trumpflation. No one has spare change to now make health care payments that are more expensive. Thanks @momsrising.org for getting the word out.
On #IndigenousPeoplesDay we honor Native Americans as the first inhabitants of our country. Indigenous peoples have faced and risen above immense challenges, and today we celebrate the strength and resilience of Native culture.
Throughout WA’s history, Hispanic pioneers, entrepreneurs, and activists have made us stronger. Hispanics are 13.5% of WA’s workers, including some of our top business leaders, judges, politicians, and athletes. This #HispanicHeritageMonth, we celebrate their contributions to our country.
National Hispanic Heritage Month
I took few minutes with @momsrising.org the other day to get the word out: In 29 states, health insurance rates are projected to go up by more than 20%. If my Republican colleagues are serious about driving down health care costs, then let's protect ACA tax credits that are expiring.
Hopefully this critical breakthrough will be quickly followed by an immediate surge of humanitarian aid delivered by a multinational peacekeeping force and a genuine effort to find lasting and prosperous peace in the region through the acceptance of a durable and equitable two state solution. (2/2)
