For Americans like Darlene in NY, ACA enhanced premium tax credits can mean the difference between financial security and hardship. Congress must act now! #TrumpInflationCrisis #HealthCarePriceHike
With the increased work requirements and all the new paperwork, SNAP is going to be MORE costly for South Carolina to administer and increase the deficit.
Please vote no to the current spending bill @RepRalphNorman.
