Earlier this year, I introduced with Senator @MartinHeinrich the Middle Class Health Benefits Tax Repeal Act, to permanently repeal this tax. Our legislation has bipartisan support from more than 40 cosponsors who are working hard to advance it in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mike Rounds @SenatorRounds

I've also been working to provide SD families with relief from Obamacare. This includes repealing the Cadillac Tax: a 40% tax on health coverage that exceeds predetermined amounts. This tax, if implemented, would affect nearly 450,000 SD'ans with employer-sponsored health care. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mike Rounds @SenatorRounds

While we continue our work to repeal & replace Obamacare, we’re committed to making sure pre-existing conditions are protected for individuals that maintain continuous coverage, the guaranteed renewal of coverage and allowing children to remain on their parents’ plans until 26. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mike Rounds @SenatorRounds

We also had 17 different providers offering group health insurance before Obamacare. Today, we have just two. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mike Rounds @SenatorRounds

In South Dakota, we had guaranteed renewability and guaranteed portability before Obamacare came along. We also allowed children in school to stay on their parents’ insurance until the age of 29. Under Obamacare, it went down to 26. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mike Rounds @SenatorRounds

Let’s set the record straight: Obamacare has been a disaster from the start for millions of people who were forced off the health care plans they liked & who now pay higher & higher premiums each month, while having fewer plans to choose from as providers leave the marketplace. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mike Rounds @SenatorRounds

This week, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments in a lawsuit seeking to overturn Obamacare. Democrats have been working overtime to paint the @GOP as a monster that wants to rip health insurance away from 20 million people. That couldn’t be further from the truth. — PolitiTweet.org

As we await @realDonaldTrump’s announcement regarding his efforts to include a citizenship question on the 2020 census, here are my thoughts on the subject. https://t.co/tips8t0K4N — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mike Rounds @SenatorRounds

These waivers have the potential to reduce corn ethanol demand which would hurt South Dakota producers at a time of low net farm income. Our bipartisan bill would provide much-needed transparency to the EPA’s waiver process. More here: https://t.co/9T75SHY31o — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mike Rounds @SenatorRounds

SD is a leader in corn ethanol production, and it’s an important part of our state’s overall economy. The EPA needs to take into account the impact of small refinery waivers on the corn ethanol industry. — PolitiTweet.org

We're pretty proud of this year's Senate-passed #NDAA, which includes a number of provisions I offered as a member of @SASCMajority. https://t.co/uPhdeaci91 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mike Rounds @SenatorRounds

This is welcome news for SD producers. Thanks @SecretarySonny for your leadership on this issue and your timely response to our request. In a challenging year for ag producers, this will create another avenue for ranchers to feed their livestock. — PolitiTweet.org

Shell companies in the U.S. shouldn’t be able to hide their true owners. Our #ILLICITCASH Act would require shells to report owner names so law enforcement can track illicit criminal activities. Read our op-ed on @CNBC : https://t.co/SNAKiZ2JjD — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate should hold hearings on the ICS, which risks infringing on state-based insurance regulation & limiting consumer choice in the US. — PolitiTweet.org
