There has been a lot of confusion surrounding the Medicaid and tax provisions in the Working Families Tax Cut, and I want to set the record straight. Despite the misinformation out there, this legislation does not strip essential healthcare coverage—it strengthens accountability, efficiency, and access while ensuring that taxpayer dollars are spent wisely and effectively.
With the government shutdown dominating headlines, I know many folks across Northeast Florida are wondering what it really means—and how it might affect their families, businesses, and daily lives.
As of 12:00 a.m. on Wednesday, October 1, the federal government entered a shutdown after funding authorization expired. In September, I voted to prevent this outcome and keep the government open. Unfortunately, the Senate was unable to reach a final agreement in time.
