Amen, Stanley Tucci!

Happy Birthday!

George Harvey Strait was born on May 18, 1952, in Poteet, Texas, and raised on a family cattle ranch in Pearsall that has been in the Strait family for nearly 100 years.

Every label in Nashville rejected him. They even tried to change his name to “Cain Cooper.” His wife Norma convinced him to give music one more year before quitting for farming.

He signed with MCA Records in 1981 and never looked back. 60 number one hits. 120 million records sold. Country Music Hall of Fame. Kennedy Center Honoree. And at 74, he is still filling stadiums with 90,000 fans.

Happy birthday to the King of Country. There will never be another George Strait.

September is almost here. The kids are back in school 🎒, fall festivals are starting 🍂, and the holidays will be here before we know it 🎄. Life gets busy fast.

There’s been a recent change out of Washington that could affect your Medicare drug costs.

President Trump signed an executive order that delays Medicare’s ability to negotiate lower prices on many brand-name drugs—extending the timeline by four more years. That means some medications will stay expensive longer than expected.

What else is changing:
• The $2 cap on generic drug copays was rolled back.
• New tariffs on foreign-made drugs could raise prices even more.
• A program offering discounted insulin is back—but only through certain clinics.
• The FDA is working to speed up approval of generics, but that may take time to trickle down.

If you’re concerned about rising drug costs or want to make sure you’re in the best Part D plan for your needs, I’m here to help. Let’s talk about ways to protect your budget and get the most out of your coverage.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has released a proposed rule to "address the troubling amount of improper enrollments."

🚨 Heads up, folks! Healthcare is on the line. 🚨

Right now, millions of Americans get help paying for health insurance through the ACA’s Enhanced Premium Tax Credits. But here’s the bad news—these subsidies could disappear at the end of 2025 if Congress doesn’t act. 😳

What does that mean?
❌ Higher premiums – Some people could see their insurance costs double.
❌ Millions losing coverage – Up to 4 million people could be uninsured.
❌ More medical debt – No insurance = BIG hospital bills.

This is why your vote matters! If we don’t pay attention, we could lose the healthcare safety net that helps so many families stay covered.

What can you do?
✅ Stay informed – Know what’s happening.
✅ Speak up – Contact your reps & tell them to protect ACA subsidies!
✅ VOTE! – Support leaders who fight for affordable healthcare.

We can’t afford to sit this one out. Healthcare is a right, not a privilege! Let’s make sure it stays that way. 🗳️💙
