Senate Majority Leader Diego Everhart calls for the full congressional passage of the Medicare Prescription Drug Price Negotiation Act of 2017 **FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE** Today, in a united call for bipartisan cooperation, we urge leaders in both the Senate and the House of Representatives to pass the Medicare Price Reduction Act, a crucial piece of legislation aimed at addressing the pressing healthcare needs of millions of Americans. The Medicare Price Reduction Act, recently passed by the Democrat-led Senate, represents a significant step forward in ensuring accessible, affordable healthcare for all Americans. This bipartisan effort aims to stabilize health insurance premiums and support the purchase of private health insurance by consumers, particularly those facing the highest premiums. At its core, this legislation is about improving the lives of seniors, combating poverty, and ensuring that no American is forced to choose between essential healthcare and financial stability. By providing grants to states to reduce health insurance premiums and increase coverage, the Medicare Price Reduction Act will directly benefit seniors struggling to afford vital medications like insulin, while also helping families across the nation who are living on the brink of poverty due to skyrocketing healthcare costs. Key provisions of the bill include: - Awarding grants to states to support the purchase of private health insurance by consumers and stabilize health insurance premiums. - Giving priority to states with the highest health insurance premiums and providing bonus payments. - Mandating states to use funds to reduce health insurance premiums through cost-sharing programs, increase the number of insured individuals, review premium rates to curb unreasonable increases, and improve affordability, quality, and accessibility of health insurance. It is imperative that our elected officials in both the Senate and the House of Representatives set aside partisan differences and prioritize the well-being of the American people by swiftly passing this crucial legislation. By working together in a bipartisan manner, we can ensure that all Americans have access to the healthcare they need and deserve. We call upon Republican and Democratic leaders in both the Senate and the House of Representatives to join forces in advocating for the Medicare Price Reduction Act and take decisive action to improve the lives of millions of Americans.

Name: Hiram Storm (R-OH) Media/Outlet: Morning Joe (MSNBC) Reason: PROSPER Act The Prosper Act stands out as a truly iconic piece of legislation, reminiscent of the impactful Immigration bill, showcasing President Leah Ross's commitment to delivery. What's not to appreciate about this bill? It paves the way for free community college and introduces a child benefit program, providing families with monthly payments to cover expenses such as daycare and schooling. Moreover, it advocates for transparency in healthcare and safeguards the solvency of Medicare Part A, ensuring no recipient is left behind. This is the kind of legislation that America has long sought, and it's now incumbent upon Congress to take decisive action. Democrats like John Starnes exemplify the issues plaguing Washington – narcissistic and self-serving politicians more concerned with their egos than effectively serving the American people. It raises the question: What precisely does John Starnes oppose in the Prosper Act? Is it the investments aimed at countering the Chinese business monopoly in critical earth mining, the monthly checks supporting families to combat poverty, or is he simply displeased that his name isn't on the bill? It's crucial to recognize that our fight extends beyond personal interests; we must strive for a greater cause. The Prosper Act not only slashes the deficit by $1-2 trillion but also guarantees that the needs of every American are prioritized. For far too long, poverty has stood as a formidable barrier to our collective success, and it is incumbent upon us now to fulfill our duty and eradicate it.

Name: Hiram Storm (R-OH) Media/Outlet: CNN News Central Reason: Maduro's Socialist Aggression in Guyana / Venezuela-Guyana Territorial Conflict I am deeply surprised by the response of some Democrats to the aggressive actions of Maduro against the Guyanese and innocent Americans in the region. John Starnes, the most powerful Democrat in the Senate, through his dramatic tweets , has conveyed that the United States is at fault for the unwarranted and dictatorial aggression of a socialist regime. It is both concerning and shameful. When I read those tweets in real-time, I was left speechless. It appears he may need a history lesson on the territorial conflict between Guyana and Venezuela. More importantly, he should clarify which side he truly supports. It is perplexing that Senator Starnes vigorously defends Ukraine and Israel's right to exist but does not extend the same belief to our allies in Guyana. This is truly shameful. If Senator Starnes can sympathize with Maduro, then I'll gladly buy him and any democrat an economy ticket to Venezuela. America has no room for traitors and dictator sympathizers. The United States should do all that is necessary to stand with our allies in South America, who were all in support of the operation, along with our allies in Europe, including the United Kingdom, who provided support for the operation. We pray for the safe return of the pilots and will not rest until the Maduro regime releases them and ceases their illegal campaign against Guyana immediately.

Name: Hiram Storm Media/Outlet: Joe Rogan Experience Reason: Immigration 1) I fully support President Ross executive order narrowing DACA. Democrats had 4 years to find a solution to fix this crisis but instead they have scapegoated and kicked the can down the road. President Ross, gave congress the kick that was needed to get to work, and due to this Republicans have proposed a bipartisan DACA amendment that will protect dreamers but over all an immigration bill that will help fight drug cartels and make our border safer. 2)Republicans have forcefully countered the Democrats' inaction of Gridlock John with a resolute bipartisan DACA amendment, demonstrating a no-nonsense, collaborative stance in securing protection for dreamers. This stark departure from the prolonged political gridlock of the past underscores the Republicans' commitment to breaking through bureaucratic inertia and getting things done. 3)Republicans are taking a robust stand against the fentanyl crisis, prioritizing the safety of our communities. By implementing measures to combat fentanyl trafficking, we not only protect our citizens but also send a clear message of commitment to the well-being of our continental allies. This aggressive approach ensures that our neighborhoods remain safe from the devastating impact of this deadly drug while fostering stronger ties with those who share our commitment to eradicating this menace.

Name: Hiram Storm Media/Outlet: CNN Reason: Democrat Obstruction 1) Election have winners and losers, but ultimately when politicians like John Starnes become bitter only Americans lose. Senator Starnes' actions defy reason, dragging both America and the world into a state of insecurity and potential disaster. Despite sincere efforts by Republicans to foster collaboration, his stance remains unfathomably unreasonable. 2)As Republicans, along with President Ross and her administration, we've consistently demonstrated a commitment to collaboration. Unfortunately, instead of being focused on our nation's best interests in 2025, we find ourselves with a Democrat leader, in John Starnes who is more inclined to use a haughty tone on Twitter, fixated on grievances from 2024 rather than proactive action for the benefit of America. 3) Securing our border, ensuring the safety of our allies, and addressing inflation are critical issues that shouldn't be a source of contention. It's disheartening to witness the Senate Minority Leader's passive approach—languidly observing, slow-walking essential matters, and embodying an uncooperative stance akin to an unyielding slab of rock. It's as if he just doesn't care.
