Here in South Florida, many of our neighbors and relatives rely on Social Security and Medicare. Our seniors have spent their entire lives contributing to these programs and they deserve to know that Social Security and Medicare will be there for them when they retire.
Lois believes that access to high-quality, affordable health care is essential for all Americans. Lois has fought aggressively against Republican-led efforts to cut our Medicare and Medicaid and rejected efforts to privatize Social Security.
With Lois’s support, the Inflation Reduction Act made important changes to Medicare to reduce prescription drug costs, caps insulin at $35 per month, makes recommended vaccines free, and caps out of pocket costs for prescriptions at $2,000.
Lois has also fought to ensure that Medicare covers maternal and reproductive health care such as birth control and HPV vaccinations, and has led efforts to expand access and funding for pre- and post-natal maternity care for all Americans.
