Alabama Congresswoman Joins Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in Shaping Democratic Proposals on Health Care Costs, Access, Medicare, and Prescription Drug Pricing
WASHINGTON, D.C. | U.S. Representative Terri Sewell has been selected by House Democratic leadership to help lead a major new effort focused on lowering health care costs and expanding access to care, positioning the Alabama lawmaker at the center of one of the party’s most prominent policy initiatives heading into the next phase of congressional debate.
House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries announced that Sewell will serve as co-convener of the Cost of Living Health Care Working Group alongside Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The panel is one of five newly established House Democratic working groups tasked with developing proposals to address the financial pressures facing American households.
The initiative comes as health care affordability continues to rank among the top concerns for voters nationwide. Rising insurance premiums, prescription drug costs, hospital expenses, and access challenges remain central issues in the national political conversation.
