In a news conference on Capitol Hill, Congressmembers Brian Higgins (NY-26), John Larson (CT-01), Joe Courtney (CT-02), and Peter Welch (VT-AL) announced plans to introduce the Medicare Buy-In and Health Care Stabilization Act. The legislation will expand access to Medicare to allow those aged 50-64 to buy into the highly successful and popular program, providing millions more Americans who are more likely to have pre-existing conditions and face premium increases as they near retirement with an option for affordable, quality health care.

Washington, D.C. – Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) released the following statement:

"It was the right thing for Rep. Omar to unequivocally apologize yesterday for her use of an anti-Semitic stereotype. As Speaker Pelosi said, anti-Semitism must be called out and condemned. Comments that invoke anti-Semitism are hurtful to the Jewish community and there is no place for them in the public discourse."

Washington, D.C. - Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) released the following statement on the passing of the former Dean of the House, John Dingell:

"It was my honor to serve with John Dingell: to have worked along side him on the issues of our day and to have been a beneficiary of his wisdom. His passing marks a historic milestone. I also have the honor of serving with his wife Debbie and I send my condolences to her and the entire Dingell family."
