Dear john,

In TX-28, 74% of district residents, or approximately 569,000 people, have health insurance coverage.

For workers and families, health insurance can greatly reduce—or even eliminate—out-of-pocket medical care costs. Having more people insured also creates more productive communities and greater economic mobility.

I voted for the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the American Rescue Plan, and the Inflation Reduction Act, which have expanded access to affordable health insurance and lowered our out-of-pocket health costs. We capped the price of insulin, lowered prescription drug prices, and allowed Medicare to negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies.

As your voice in DC, I will continue to help expand health insurance coverage for the remaining 26% of TX-28 residents that remain uninsured.
