Within the next five years, we need to build one or more advanced reactors to demonstrate the capabilities they may bring—lower cost, increased safety, and less nuclear waste – and this legislation will help do that. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

I am glad that the Nuclear Energy Leadership Act, legislation I cosponsored alongside @lisamurkowski and @SenBooker, was approved by the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. We need to stop talking about advanced reactors and actually build something. — PolitiTweet.org

Good news—@MeharryMedical will receive $750,000 from @HHSGov to develop a new rural residency program that will help to increase the number of medical professionals in rural Tennessee. — PolitiTweet.org

It is time for Congress to take action to protect patients from surprise medical bills, and I believe the approach in the #LowerHealthCareCosts Act is the least intrusive, most market-driven, most effective way to do so. — PolitiTweet.org

Because of lower taxes and fewer regulations, our economy is surging. Read my column in the @ocnews38570: https://t.co/4DBRDA7lpD https://t.co/q91xIVxedH — PolitiTweet.org

It’s no surprise @GovBillLee ranked as one of the ten most popular governors by @MorningConsult. Thank you for your tireless service to Tennessee, Bill! — PolitiTweet.org

More than 100 members of the @TNMilitaryDept returned home Wednesday after a nine-month deployment overseas. I am deeply grateful to each and every one of them and thank them and their families for their great sacrifice. — PolitiTweet.org

.@POTUS has also called for an end to surprise medical billing, saying, “For too long, surprise billings...have left some patients with thousands of dollars of unexpected and unjustified charges...So this must end.” — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

Over the last year, many of my colleagues, including @SenBillCassidy, @SenatorHassan, and Sen @lisamurkowski, have led the way on protecting patients from surprise medical bills, and have lit a fire under Congress to end this harmful practice. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

The #LowerHealthCareCosts Act is targeted at a small number of doctors—less than 5%—who liberal and conservative economists alike have found are intentionally staying out of insurance networks so they can charge patients exorbitant prices. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

The #LowerHealthCareCosts Act does not allow the federal government to set rates. Nor can insurance companies unilaterally set rates. The market will set a price that reflects the cost of providing care in that area. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

Last month, the Senate’s health committee passed the #LowerHealthCareCosts Act, by a vote of 20–3, to end this practice. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

If Congress cannot address even obvious market failures in private health care, a federal takeover of our entire health-care sector will become that much more attractive. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

Surprise medical bills are one of the most visible health-care problems for the 200 million Americans who have insurance through their jobs or on the individual market, and Congress should act to fix it. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

Across the country, patients are being hit up for hundreds or thousands of dollars, months after they received care, because doctors they didn’t even choose were outside their insurance networks. — PolitiTweet.org

1/5th of in-network emergency-room visits result in the patient receiving a surprise medical bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Last month, @alevine014, who leads @BalladHealth in East Tennessee, invested $10 million in nurse pay because of a proposed rule by the Trump Administration that would increase Medicare reimbursement for rural hospitals across America. https://t.co/iz4Y9wGiMY — PolitiTweet.org

One in five in-network emergency-room visits result in the patient receiving a surprise medical bill. Read my op-ed in @NRO about the Senate’s bipartisan plan to fix this. #LowerHealthCareCosts https://t.co/V22hikWFBv — PolitiTweet.org

Last week in the United States Senate, we confirmed our 42nd federal appellate judge. That doesn’t make as much news, but it’s one of the most important things we do. Read my column in the @ocnews38570: https://t.co/4DBRDA7lpD — PolitiTweet.org
