Terri believes that all Alabamians should have access to quality, affordable healthcare. Every day, she is fighting back against Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans’ attacks on the Affordable Care Act, Medicare, and Medicaid.

Expanding Medicaid: Terri knows that Alabama must expand Medicaid to close the healthcare coverage gap for working families. She authored the Bridge to Medicaid Act, which would provide a temporary option for healthcare to those caught in the coverage gap in non-Medicaid expansion states like Alabama. 

Saving Rural Hospitals: Terri is fighting to save our rural hospitals. Since coming to Congress, she has secured more than $186 million for Alabama’s rural hospitals and $36.9 million for community health centers in AL-07. This year, she introduced the Save Struggling Hospitals Act, which would fix the Medicare payment formulas that do not account for the cost facing hospitals in rural and lower wage areas.

Strengthening our Healthcare Workforce: Terri has championed efforts to train the next generation of our healthcare workforce. She has used her position on the Ways and Means Committee to bring more healthcare professionals to underserved communities by expanding the number of Medicare-supported graduate medical education (GME) slots.

Lowering Drug Prices: Terri fought to cap the cost of insulin at $35 per month for seniors. For the first time in history, we beat the special interests and allowed Medicare to negotiate lower prescription drug prices for our seniors. 

Fighting to End Cancer: In 2026, Terri passed the Nancy Gardner Sewell Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act.  This law will give many seniors new access to cutting-edge screenings that can detect dozens of forms of cancer with a simple blood test. 

Improving Rural Medical Transportation: Terri is a leading advocate for improving rural access to medical transportation.  She wrote the Protecting Access to Ground Ambulance Act, which would ensure the ground ambulance services in rural and underserved communities are expanded.
