Later that day, Salinas addressed healthcare policy and ongoing debates in Congress regarding the Affordable Care Act (ACA). She stated: “Republicans have the power to extend tax credits that keep Affordable Care Act premiums lower for millions of Americans.
With Republican cuts to Medicaid & the rising cost of living — paying a HUGE premium is not an option for families.
Here’s what I have to say about this ” This comment comes amid discussions over the future of ACA subsidies and potential changes to Medicaid funding.
In a lighter moment on September 16, Salinas posted about her experience updating her online profile: “Guys, how do I make my new banner fit? https://t.co/xgkZxGetV6”
