Yesterday was the anniversary of the passage of the Affordable Care Act. This transformational program has done so much for Americans, who prior to the ACA, suffered from being denied coverage over their pre-existing conditions and being enrolled in plans with dollar or lifetime limits - limits that restricted care for nearly 20,000 Americans each year.

Yesterday was the anniversary of the passage of the Affordable Care Act. This transformational program has done so much for Americans, who prior to the ACA, suffered from being denied coverage over their pre-existing conditions and being enrolled in plans with dollar or lifetime limits - limits that restricted care for nearly 20,000 Americans each year. 

The ACA: 
- Halved the number of uninsured, strengthened coverage and codified consumer protections. 
- Expanded affordable health coverage to nearly 40 million Americans. 
- Dropped Americas uninsured rate to an all-time low of 7.2%. 
- Saved $1.4 billion in out-of-pocket costs on birth control in the first year of ACA coverage alone. 
- Gave young people just starting out a hand by letting them stay on their parents insurance until age 26. 
- Capped insulin costs at $35 for seniors and people with disabilities. 
- As of 2025, capped out of pocket costs for prescription drugs at $2,000 for seniors and people with disabilities. 

Donald Trump and Elon Musk have been looking for things to cut that will allow them to cut taxes for Americas wealthiest people - and Medicaid looks to be on the chopping block. Michigan Republicans have followed their playbook and passed a budget that would take away health care for 3 million Michiganders. 

Thats because 1 in 4 Michiganders are enrolled in Medicaid, including 1 million children, 300,000 people with disabilities, 168,000 seniors, and 40% of people living in our rural areas. 

We MUST do everything we can to defend our most crucial programs, like Medicaid, and keep vulnerable Michiganders from losing the protections theyve relied on for the past 15 years.

Some highlights of the week:

Presenting a tribute to Dart Bank in celebration of their 100 years serving our community.

Getting to know young farmers at MSU Extension's 4-H Day (yes, I grilled them about tariffs).

Talking to constituents from my district abotu their experiences with bleeding disorders and the needs of the Hemophilia Foundation.

Today in the House, I voted no on a Resolution that supports banning transgender girls from competing in school sports. These are young women trying to make friends, gain confidence, be active and participate in school activities, yet they are being named a problem and a threat to their peers by their own government. 

The MHSAA already has rules for determining who can participate in sports at different skill levels. Claims that this Resolution is intended to prevent unfair advantages are disingenuous - this would apply a one-size-fits-all approach to an existing process. 

The Resolution is symbolic and carries no legal ramifications, but there are real and dangerous consequences when a government body attacks an already underserved population. In 2024, only 2 transgender girls participated in high school sports in Michigan, but there are so many LGBTQ+ students and people hurting from the actions of their representatives today. 

Ill always believe our children deserve the freedom to express themselves safely. Growing up is hard, especially when youre struggling with uncertainty about your identity. The cruelest thing we can do is isolate these students from their friends, teams and coaches.

I was proud to stand behind Rep. Emily Dievendorf, who put it best: This resolution isnt about fairness. It isnt about protecting womens sports. This isnt about safety because there is no threat.

Thank you standing up for trans kids!

It's March Reading Month! I stopped by North Aurelius Elementary School in Mason this afternoon to read to their fantastic 1st grade classes. Literacy is the foundation for all other learning, which is why it's so important to promote a healthy appetite for reading. Check out their free book vending machine!
