The #LowerHealthCareCosts Act would increase transparency in medical costs for patients & employers and increases prescription drug competition to lower the cost of generic drugs which are 90% of all prescriptions written. Read my op-ed in the @Tennessean: https://t.co/2ALHnRK9kr — PolitiTweet.org

READ my op-ed in the @Tennessean about the #LowerHealthCareCosts Act, bipartisan legislation that would end surprise billing and take numerous other steps to reduce the amount of money Tennesseans pay for health care out of their own pockets. https://t.co/2ALHnRK9kr — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

The question I hear most often is, “How can I reduce what Americans pay for health care out of their own pockets?” And, the most obvious out-of-pocket cost for most Americans is what we pay for prescription drugs. #LowerHealthCareCosts https://t.co/ClmRuRaNdk — PolitiTweet.org

Last month, the Senate health committee I chair passed legislation, by a vote of 20-3, that included fourteen bipartisan provisions to increase prescription drug competition to help more lower-cost generic and biosimilar drugs reach patients. #LowerHealthCareCosts https://t.co/LaHQee2VdT — PolitiTweet.org

She wrote me recently saying: “As a 71 year old senior with arthritis, I rely on Enbrel to keep my symptoms in check. My copay has just been increased from $95 to $170 every ninety days. At this rate, I will have to begin limiting my usage in order to balance the monthly budget.” — PolitiTweet.org

The @ConservationFnd has played a large role in protecting Tennessee’s outdoors for over 30 years, and their work with the @tnwildlife to add 3,041 acres to Skinner Wildlife Management Area will preserve even more of our state’s beautiful land and recreation areas. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

This forestland will be open to the public for hunting, hiking and wildlife viewing, while continuing to support the local economy through harvested timber production. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m glad to hear the @ConservationFnd, in partnership with @tnwildlife, announced the protection of 3,041 acres by adding it to the Skinner Wildlife Management Area. 🌲 — PolitiTweet.org

Rural hospitals in Tennessee have long suffered from poor Medicare reimbursement, but a new rule from the Trump Administration will change that. Read my op-ed in the @thedailyherald to learn more: https://t.co/54XI9IHimY — PolitiTweet.org

There is bipartisan consensus in the U.S. Senate to lower the cost of prescription drugs. #LowerHealthCareCosts https://t.co/BiS8Z1Lesq — PolitiTweet.org

Mr. Pallasch will use his prior experience as the Executive Director of Kentucky’s Office of Employment and Training to help ensure our country is more workforce-ready. https://t.co/dalyFBvdw5 — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

I voted to confirm @POTUS’ nominee, John Pallasch, to serve as Assistant Secretary for Employment and Training at the @USDOL. The number one issue I hear most about from businesses in Tennessee is the need for more skilled workers. — PolitiTweet.org

I look forward to working with him in his new role as Congress works to update the Higher Education Act this year to help ensure that college students are earning degrees worth their time and money. #MakingCollegeWorkthIt — PolitiTweet.org

If you’re in the Tri-Cities area, tune-in at 8:45 AM ET to @Supertalk929 for my live conversation with @ScottyIsOn about the #LowerHealthCareCosts Act—bipartisan legislation I helped introduce that will reduce what Tennesseans pay out of their own pockets for health care. — PolitiTweet.org

.@BillHaslam would be a terrific United States senator, but he has served Tennessee well and unselfishly for 15 years as governor and as mayor of Knoxville, and I can completely understand his desire to take a different direction with his life. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

I believe the cost of prescription drugs is an area where Congress and the Trump Administration can find common ground to help reduce what Americans pay out of their own pockets for health care. #LowerHealthCareCosts https://t.co/3a9Uehx7vc — PolitiTweet.org

I applaud the city of Dayton and the @SETNDevelopment for taking steps to help protect the community from future flooding and supporting more jobs. I appreciate the Trump Administration’s ongoing investments in Tennessee, including this $2.7 million grant for Dayton. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

The @US_EDA announced a $2.7M grant for the city of Dayton to upgrade critical water infrastructure needed to better protect Tennesseans from future flooding. It will be matched with $11.8M in local funds & will help create 660 jobs & spur more than $415M in private investment. — PolitiTweet.org

A new rule from the Trump Administration works to fix the flawed Medicare Area Wage Index, which benefits some hospitals at the expense of others. Learn more via @thedailyherald: https://t.co/54XI9IYTLy — PolitiTweet.org
