MINNEAPOLIMEDIA EDITORIAL | When Illness Becomes Financial Ruin: Senator Klein Sounds Alarm Over Federal Move to Gut Medical Debt Protections | MinneapoliMedia It starts with a single emergency room visit. A broken arm, a sudden infection, a chronic illness flare-up.

Medical debt isn’t like other debt—it strikes at random through no fault of your own, and it shouldn’t ruin your credit score. But that is what the Trump administration is trying to do. Link to article in the comments.

Senator Matt Klein Denounces Trump Administration’s Move to Gut Consumer Protections for Medical Debt | Minnesota Senate DFL ST. PAUL, Minn. — In a sweeping rollback of consumer protections, the Trump administration moved yesterday to preempt state laws that keep medical debt off credit reports. This move would rescind medi...

In the Commerce Committee, we protected people from having their credit scores ruined after an accident or medical illness. The Trump administration is trying to take that away.

Had a great evening at a constituent meet and greet event in Apple Valley, cohosted with Nika Davies, Sue and Steve Wehrenberg, and Dr. George Realmuto. Today, I toured with the Minnesota Senate Bonding Committee to survey West Saint Paul's proposed urban oasis. Busy couple of days in Minnesota 2.

Eliminating the Department of Education would strip away federal safeguards that guarantee quality schooling for all students. We can do better.

I'm ready to get back to work.

This weekend, hundreds of No Kings rallies will fill Minnesota. Let’s get out and support our Constitution, for our kids and our grandkids. Be safe and take care of each other.

Tariffs on soybeans were a reckless policy that has only harmed American soybean farmers. We have to do better.

I was proud to stand with Workers United in South Saint Paul today and bring solidarity from the Senate DFL as they fight for basic wages for their difficult work. Hoping for a great outcome today.

These strong legislators join the 25 elected leaders already supporting my campaign, representing every part of the state and the full range of ideas within the DFL. I'm so honored to have their support.

It is vital to our communities that the Premium Tax Credit for Health Insurance is extended.

Senator Carlson has been a champion for democracy in a time when it was gravely needed. He will be greatly missed at the Capitol.

The federal shutdown is irresponsible. Americans deserve stability from their federal government, and Republicans need to get to work.

Senator Kari Dziedzic was a great leader in Minnesota. This week my colleagues and I dedicated the 10th Avenue bridge in Minneapolis in her honor.

If we let these tax credits expire, premiums will spike, and coverage for many will disappear. We can do better. I'm fighting to keep healthcare affordable for every Minnesotan.

Health insurance premiums for small business owners and farmers on the individual market are estimated to increase about 20% due to the expiration of federal tax credits.

As a physician, I know the toll that these cuts are taking on our healthcare system and, most importantly, how it will negatively impact Minnesotans. I’m running for Congress because I won’t stand by while our communities lose treatment options.

Congresswoman @RepAngieCraig has secured CD 2 as a DFL district because she works harder than anyone else in politics, and she truly understands the pulse of her district. She has my full support for any office she chooses to pursue.

We have lost a leader of unmatched integrity, purpose and skill. Minnesotans’ lives will be better for generations, and we have Kari Dziedzic to thank. Rest in Peace.

Great to talk to Adam Carter and WCCO listeners about click to cancel, junk fees, sports betting, and combatting fraud.

Lobbying ban proposal for former Minnesota legislators to resurface in 2025 Revolving-door bans haven’t progressed in nearly three decades

I'm eager to introduce this bill banning lobbying for two years after leaving the legislature, and imposing penalties. Minnesotans give us their trust to work at the Capitol on their behalf. It's wrong to exploit that trust for financial gain. www.startribune.com/lobbying-ban...

Here we go—hydroxycloroquine. fraudulent supplements. vaccine misinformation. A lot of Americans will die 18th century deaths in the next four years.
