Treated uninsured patients as a doctor in Louisiana’s charity hospital system, now serving the people of my state in the US Senate. Proud LSU grad! #GeauxTigers
Louisiana is mourning the loss of Deputy U.S. Marshal Drew Hanson, a member of the Western District of Louisiana’s Fugitive Task Force. He gave his life protecting others. I thank him for his service and offer condolences to his wife, their two children, and all who knew and
The AMA benefits from a government-backed CPT monopoly to collect licensing fees across the health care industry. This drives up costs for patients and families. I’ve been investigating it.

20% of people have dyslexia, but students are rarely tested.
Chairman @SenBillCassidy's 21st Century Dyslexia Act fixes that, ensuring students have the resources they need to reach their full potential.
CMS loopholes have let agents & brokers create “ghost patients,” switch plans without consent, and pocket the commissions.
GAO confirms more must be done to stop the fraud. I’m working with the Trump administration to close these loopholes and protect patients and taxpayers!
