| Empowering Our Workers with Modern Tools and Flexible Opportunities
Empowering our workers with modern tools and flexible opportunities is essential for strengthening our economy and ensuring they can succeed in today’s dynamic job market. That’s why I joined U.S. Senators Bill Cassidy M.D. (R-La.) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.) in unveiling a legislative package modernizing federal labor law to permit 27 million independent workers to access portable workplace benefits, like health care and retirement. The package will also provide consistency and clarity in determining which workers qualify as independent contractors, making it easier to find jobs that allow for flexibility and independence.
I joined Joe Kernan on CNBC’s Squawk Box to discuss this legislation!

I also highlighted the need for legislation that clearly defines which tokens are securities, supports modern trading infrastructure, ensures appropriate protections against illicit finance are in place, and protects investors while fostering innovation.

Modernizing How Americans Receive Hospital-Level Care
In an effort to allow thousands of Americans to safely receive hospital-level care in the comfort of their homes, I introduced the Hospital Inpatient Services Modernization Act, which would extend the Acute Hospital at Home Waiver program and modernize how Americans receive hospital-level care. This legislation specifically addresses the unsustainable costs of the current healthcare system by leveraging technology and alternative care models.
