senate 06/03/2025 - 119th Congress

We are working to test a community-based palliative care model aimed at improving care and coordination for seriously ill Medicare beneficiaries, reducing unnecessary hospital visits, and ensuring access to compassionate support in their homes or communities. This initiative will help evaluate better ways to provide comprehensive, around-the-clock care tailored to patient needs.

If it improves quality of life and trims costs, I’m all in—but let’s keep the politics out of the bedside.

Finally, a bill that cares for folks *before* the crisis hits—because health shouldn't be a luxury.
