Today, @CMSgov made the historic announcement that people covered by Medicare will soon pay less for needed drugs. I applaud the Biden-Harris Admin for enacting the Inflation Reduction Act to make this possible. My full statement here: rb.gy/gmtf8r

Thank you @BrookingsInst and @hamiltonproj for hosting me to discuss how to close gaps in health coverage. During my time in Congress, we made great progress getting more Americans covered, but now policymakers must work to drive down costs and increase access and equity.

Our Chairman @RepWaxman joined @BrookingsInst and @hamiltonproj to share his experience passing laws that expanded health care coverage for more Americans - and what policymakers today can learn from those lessons as they continue working to close coverage gaps.

Today’s announcement from @CMSGov represents a key milestone in Medicare’s negotiation of prices for high-cost drugs! Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, this historic new process will help more people access critical, life-saving medications. nytimes.com/2023/08/29/us/…

In the decades-long effort to lower prescription drug costs, today’s announcement from CMS is monumental. The ability for Medicare to negotiate prices will provide relief for people who depend on costly medications, and I'm thrilled to see it implemented.

I’m pleased to see so much bipartisan activity this year around lowering drug prices. Now, Congress must use that momentum to pass legislation that will bring generics to market faster so more Americans can afford their medications. thehill.com/opinion/health…

Thanks to the work of @RepWaxman and countless others, fewer Americans are foregoing needed health care due to cost. However, a recent uptick is concerning, and why our continued work to rein in drug prices and drive down costs remains critical. axios.com/2023/05/23/med…

Important policy progress from @CMSGov explained below by @TeamWaxman's own @SiliciaL. Medicaid has an important role to play as people leave jail and prison and return to communities. Read about the new policy and sign up for next week's #HealthandReentryProject webinar here:

Years and years of scientific studies have proven that mifepristone is safe and effective -- full stop. Politicians shouldn't be interfering with science or people's health care decisions, and courts certainly shouldn't be either. nyti.ms/3KLiS3u

Speaker Pelosi is one of the most effective champions for progressive causes ever. Her leadership and ability to deliver impactful results as Speaker will be missed but provide an effective roadmap for those who follow in her footsteps and continue to carry the torch.

History really is our greatest teacher. I am heartened to see the Inflation Reduction Act advancing forward, paving the way for a greener future. It has taken years of work from many different groups to see this through and it is certainly worth celebrating.
Maxine Joselow@maxinejoselow

New: I spoke to @BarbaraBoxer, @JayInslee and @Repwaxman, former lawmakers who were involved in the failed attempt to advance cap-and-trade, on why it was possible to advance the Inflation Reduction Act. washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
