' Inflation Reduction Act is lowering health care costs, like capping insulin at $35 a month.
Together, we're building a health care system that works for everyone.
I visited Lolita Owens, who has been a caregiver for seniors & people with disabilities, like Katrina Francis, for 20+ years.
People like Lolita are often the backbone of this critical but challenging work.
To all the caregivers out there: We see you & we appreciate you!
Existe una enfermedad llamada gripe aviar que normalmente existe en las aves, pero que a veces infecta a los humanos. Si usted trabaja directamente con animales, tiene un riesgo mayor de contagio.
Si tiene síntomas, vaya a un doctor o a una clínica médica.
There’s a flu that usually exists in birds but sometimes infects humans. If you work directly with animals, you are at higher risk.
If you experience symptoms after contact with an animal, see a health care provider or contact your local community health center.

Since expanding Medicaid in December, over 400K North Carolinians have enrolled for full coverage. North Carolina serves as an example to other states who have yet to expand Medicaid health care coverage, because Medicaid expansion can and will save lives.
Today and every day, I salute the dedication of public servants across the nation. Your commitment to service uplifts communities and strengthens our country.
A special thank you to our HHS team for your hard work and commitment to protecting and enhancing health care for all.
