Chief among the concerns raised by the community were a declining quality of care, an increase in fees and incorrect billing, and issues with customer service and accessibility negatively impacting people’s ability to get health care

Congressman Ryan was joined by Senator Schumer in demanding the funding be restored, making it clear that the Hudson Valley community will not let Donald Trump put their neighbors out on the street.

Congressman Ryan leads the bill with Rep. Zachary Nunn (R-IA), which will lower costs by creating incentives for individuals to become commercial drivers, tackling price-raising supply chain issues that come from driver shortages
