Health Care
Information regarding my stance on Health Care issues.
Majalise Tolan, secondary director for the Lincoln County School District, met recently with other Coalition of Oregon School Administrators and Sen. Jeff Merkley, Rep. Kurt Schrader, Rep. Cliff Bentz and Rep. Suzanne Bonamici in the Capitol building in Washington, D.C. to ask for resources to address the twin student mental health and educator shortage crises.
The bipartisan bloc No. 2, offered by Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR), passed the House 262-168. It included just one health-related amendment from Reps. Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA) and Peter Meijer (R-MI). That amendment would codify recommendations included in a September HHS Office of the Inspector General report on pharmaceutical supply chain weaknesses.
Congresswoman Kim Schrier, M.D. (WA-08) and Suzanne Bonamici (OR-01) are reintroducing the Healthy Meal Time Act to reduce food waste in schools and further ensure that kids have the time to eat a proper meal.

Bipartisan legislation enabling Medicare to cover MCED is before Congress. I'm grateful Oregon's own Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici, Congressman Earl Blumenauer, Congressman Peter DeFazio and Congressman Kurt Schrader are all supporters.
Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici has represented the First Congressional District of Oregon since February of 2012. The district includes Washington, Yamhill, Clatsop, and Columbia counties and part of Multnomah County. We discuss pandemic issues, insurrection accountability and much more!
