I'm fully committed to getting that done, and now that partisan games have stalled these efforts, I urge my colleagues to start working together to improve health care." Tester on Monday met with Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), the Chairman of the Senate Health Committee, to emphasize the importance of bipartisan work on health care. Tester has sponsored numerous bills that will lower costs and increase access to health care. Marketplace Certainty ActA bill to ensure the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services stabilizes health insurance markets by making cost-sharing reduction payments. SPIKE ACTA bill to force drug companies to publicly report detailed information when they raise the price of their drugs. SAME ACTA bill to ensure Montana gets its fair share of Medicaid expansion funding. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
