U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) today announced the Bipartisan American Miners Act  which will help secure pensions and health care for 92,000 coal miners across the United States and their families  has been included in the final FY 2020 funding bill. The Bipartisan American Miners Act, which Portman cosponsored, secures lifetime health care benefits for 3,119 miners in Ohio who would have lost their benefits entirely by March, and the nearly 6,000 Ohioans whose pensions would have been reduced dramatically beginning next year. Portman released the following statement:\nOur miners worked hard, played by the rules, and earned these health care and pension benefits, whichwithout this agreementwould be reduced dramatically or lost altogether. This bill gives our miners the secure health care and pension benefits they have earned, and peace of mind to their families. This is a victory for our miners and for Ohio, and I'm proud to have worked to ensure this bipartisan solution gets done.\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.portman.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/portman-announces-miners-pensions-and-health-care-solution-included-final"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6094259917736053, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
