Adams Talks Healthcare at Protect Our Care Bus Tour Event | 2024-10-09 | 2024 | 2024-10 | Democrat | House | NC | Alma S. Adams | A000370 | adams.house.gov | adams | https://adams.house.gov/media-center/press-releases | scraper | CHARLOTTE – Congresswoman Alma S. Adams, Ph.D. (NC-12) spoke yesterday at Protect Our Care's Annual “Lower Costs, Better Care” Nationwide Bus Tour event in Charlotte, about the state of healthcare in the United States. “The Affordable Care Act and the Inflation Reduction Act have expanded affordable healthcare access, capped the costs of prescription drugs and Insulin, saved the average taxpayer thousands of dollars, and ended discrimination for the tens of millions of us with pre-existing conditions,” said Rep. Adams. “Given the success of this legislation, it's no surprise that some would choose to play politics and repeal them. We have to get up and fight for the IRA and ACA to protect our care.” Rep. Adams spoke to the successes of Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, the need to protect the Affordable Care Act from Republican repeal efforts, her support for abortion rights, and plans to expand access to affordable care. Other speakers included Stacy Staggs, President of North Carolina Chapter of Little Lobbyists, and healthcare advocates DonnaMarie Woodson, Laura Packard, and Meghan Bradshaw.
