📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.

Americans told us they need lower health care costs.
So Republicans ripped away their health care, jacked up costs, and handed over giant tax cuts to billionaires.
It's shameful. But I’m not going to stop fighting.

to me it’s an issue of dignity: having a dog changed my life, and for low-income housing to ban pets essentially says that low income people don’t deserve that happiness. I pushed to have this apartment building built and I’m happy for it, but this is so unfortunate www.brackensquare.com/faq
