U.S. Representatives Judy Chu, Susie Lee, Greg Stanton, Irvine Mayor Farrah Khan, Palm Desert Mayor Pro Tem Karina Quintanilla, Former State Sen. Kirsten Engel Headlined “Lower Costs, Better Care” Bus Tour Events
On the third week of Protect Our Care’s 8,000-mile “Lower Costs, Better Care” bus tour, “Care Force One” made stops in four states to demonstrate how recent victories by President Biden and Democrats in Congress are already “Driving Down Health Care Costs” by thousands of dollars a year — with even more savings on the way. During each stop, national and local elected officials, health care advocates and storytellers discussed how the Inflation Reduction Act and other health care measures will improve care and lower costs for the American people. August marks the first anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act. Next week, the tour continues in Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. Over four weeks, Care Force One will travel to more than 16 states, make more than 30 stops, and travel nearly 8,000 miles.
