WASHINGTON TIMES – Over the past decade, access to convenient, affordable health care has declined. Medical costs have doubled, and access to care has shrunk as health insurance companies, looking for ways to cut costs, have moved to cover fewer services and include fewer of the best doctors and hospitals in their networks. This alarming trend affects all Americans, but it falls hardest on people with low incomes and expensive chronic medical conditions. Happily, relief is in sight for many of these struggling Americans, thanks to a thoughtful new bill introduced by two Florida Republicans in Congress, Reps. Greg Steube and Kat Cammack.

WASHINGTON —  U.S. Representative Greg Steube (R-Fla.) today introduced an amendment to H.R. 5894, The FY24 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, to highlight the need for more focus on foster care issues throughout the country.

WASHINGTON —  U.S. Representatives Greg Steube (R-Fla.) and Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) yesterday introduced a fiscally conservative plan to make Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) available to 5 million lower-income Americans. 

Florida Daily – This week, U.S. Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., introduced a proposal “to provide Medicare coverage for all physicians’ services furnished by doctors of chiropractic care” and “ will ensure Medicare patients have access to chiropractic care as a non-drug alternative for pain management.”

Steube brought out the “Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act” and offered his reasons for introducing it.

WASHINGTON —  U.S. Representatives Greg Steube (R-Fla.), Rep. Brian Higgins (D-N.Y.), Mark Alford (R-Mo.), and John B. Larson (D-Conn.) today introduced legislation in the U.S. House with 20 bipartisan cosponsors to provide Medicare coverage for all physicians’ services furnished by doctors of chiropractic care. U.S. Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) introduced companion legislation today in the U.S. Senate.

WASHINGTON – U.S. Representative Greg Steube (R-Fla.) yesterday led a letter to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Robert M. Califf to request full agency compliance with their obligation under law to disclose Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting (VAERS) data for the COVID-19 vaccine.

“My constituents remain concerned about what they pay for prescription drugs, and while my Republican colleagues in Congress have proposed legislation tackling this issue directly and effectively, some policies under consideration – like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s H.R. 3 – threaten to restrict patient access to medicines and cut off America’s pipeline of innovative research and development.”

Last week, a congressman from the Sunshine State signed a letter to U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Sec. Alex Azar calling on him to send unallocated funds from the Provider Relief Fund to long-term care facilities and assisted living facilities to buy equipment to test for COVID-19 and protect residents and staffers from it.

“Assisted living and long-term care facilities are on the front lines of caring for Florida’s most vulnerable populations during the COVID-19 pandemic but have not received adequate resources. As we round the corner towards beating the pandemic, we need to do everything possible to empower our seniors and their caregivers by allocating resources for rapid testing, vaccinations and treatments.”

“The so-called ‘solutions’ my Democrat colleagues have presented are inadequate and misguided. Their primary proposal, H.R. 3, is not only an egregious government overreach, but would negatively affect seniors by expanding entitlements and disregarding the Medicare trust fund. This could risk the ultimate failure of the entire program and almost certainly increase out-of-pocket costs for our seniors.”

“During a time when our seniors are increasingly vulnerable to a global pandemic, President Trump has been a warrior for them and their families. From lowering healthcare costs to increasing innovation, America’s seniors now have more choices for their healthcare and lifestyle.”
