Every American should have access to quality, affordable health care — and thanks to the ACA, they do. Nearly 24 million people, a record number, have signed up for Marketplace coverage — and the Open Enrollment Period is not over yet!

Yesterday, we honored the life of former President Jimmy Carter. There are millions of Americans who have access to mental health support, & millions more around the world who are living healthy, disease-free lives because of the immense contributions of Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter.

Honored to accept an award from American Academy of Pediatrics on behalf of HHS' work to advance the health of infants, children, adolescents, and young adults – from our efforts to strengthen immunization more broadly to our innovations on Medicaid waivers and support of youth mental health.

What a ride these four years have been. At today's ceremony, I compared it to the spinning teacups ride I would go on with my daughters, spinning the wheel faster and smiling – because even the hard times are enjoyable when you have a mission. We have delivered on our mission.

Today, I unveiled my official secretary portrait. In the back of my portrait is a picture of my family – because that’s what it takes to get this work done – a family. And all 95,000 people on this HHS team have been like a family to me for these four years. Thank you.

I was in Pasadena to meet with first responders & help provide food & supplies to members of the community impacted by the fires in Southern California. The Biden-Harris Administration has made it clear: we will offer all the support we can through our very last minute in office.

Last year we proved that negotiating for lower drug prices works. Now we plan to build on that record by negotiating for lower prices for 15 additional important drugs for seniors.

In the studio this AM to discuss the 15 new drugs selected for Medicare price negotiations. Today’s announcement is pivotal – the Inflation Reduction Act is lowering prices for people on Medicare so that they can have access to innovative, life-saving treatments at lower costs.

Today, I presented Assistant Secretary for Health, Admiral Rachel Levine, with the Distinguished Service Medal – the highest award granted to a Public Health Service officer. This is an honor she’s earned through her exceptional contributions and work to strengthen the USPHS Commissioned Corps and its 5,600 officers.
