Since day one, I have been committed to making college more accessible & affordable. I can say we have done just that as we finish simplifying the FAFSA & forgiving the outstanding debt many of our HBCUs carry. I am proud to see this across the finish line.https://t.co/ViqgtUTILq

We need to be making it easier for folks to get the care they need during this crisis. I've worked to increase coverage for children and families and to expand Medicaid in Alabama, and I'm going to keep fighting to protect our care.
SenDougJones (D-Ala.)
@SenDougJones
Young people under 26 would no longer be able to get coverage on their parent's plans. Millions of seniors would have to pay more for prescription drugs while pharmaceutical companies would pay billions less in taxes every year.

@SenDougJones
If the ACA is overturned, at least 122,000 Alabamians will lose their health care in the middle of a pandemic. People with pre-existing conditions would be charged higher rates or have their health care coverage ended altogether.

This isn't an abstract threat. The Supreme Court will begin hearing arguments in the case on November 10th.

Everyone 6 months or older should get the flu shot—especially this year as we continue to fight COVID-19. The vaccine is: ✅ Safe ✅ Does not cause the flu ✅ Helps to prevent the flu, which shares many of the same symptoms as COVID-19. https://t.co/nwqNIwt2n8
