Without your health, it's hard to worry about anything else. Majority House Democrats are talking to the people and to the health-care industry experts about how to guarantee that we all get the care we need at a price we can afford.

 

We're the 3^rd-oldest state in the nation, with the fastest-growing over-80 population. Long-term care must be a top priority so we can affordably provide quality, dignified care for our seniors - especially because the federal government is slashing payments and leaving holes in our Medical Assistance programs. Freshmen state Reps. Tim Mahoney and Chelsa Wagner held independent hearings this week on providing - and affording - care for the greatest generation.

 

 And because we understand that you can't simply write a blank check for health care and hope for the best, state Rep. Jennifer Mann hosted a forum on how we can afford health care for every man, woman and child in the state.
