I used a Medicare Advantage plan the first few years I had Medicare. It was more expensive for me and had very high copays for certain procedures. Also my husband and I had procedures denied. Since switching to original Medicare we have consistently saved money.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to fleeโ€”his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.
