Sen. Tammy Baldwin, Gov. Tony Evers, State Sens. Sarah Anthony, Darrin Camilleri, and Paula Hicks-Hudson, Youngstown Mayor Jamael Tito Brown Will Headline “Lower Costs, Better Care” Events in Four States
Watch All Bus Tour Stops Live Here.
Washington, D.C. — On the second week of Protect Our Care’s 8,000-mile “Lower Costs, Better Care” bus tour, “Care Force One” will make stops in four states to demonstrate how recent victories by President Biden and Democrats in Congress are already “Driving Down Health Care Costs” by thousands of dollars a year — with even more savings on the way. During the events, speakers will discuss how the Inflation Reduction Act and other health care measures will improve care and lower costs for the American people. Over four weeks, Care Force One will travel to more than 16 states, make more than 30 stops, and travel nearly 8,000 miles.
The “Lower Costs, Better Care” tour promotes the work of lawmakers who are fighting tirelessly to improve health care and hold Republicans accountable for trying to roll back this progress, hike costs, and rip away protections from the American people. Drug companies and Republican lawmakers are doing everything in their power to roll back this progress in order to put profits over people. August marks the first anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act and the savings it continues to deliver.
