The omnibus passed last night extends the Health Coverage Tax Credit for another year. Many Delphi Salaried Retirees rely on HCTC to afford health care. This re-authorization of a key tax credit that makes health care more affordable for these retirees is a strong step forward, and I will continue to advocate for a long term reauthorization of this credit.

TURNER Advocacy Ends Surprise Medical Billing

I have long advocated for the end of surprise medical billing for those that are rushed to medical care in out of network healthcare facilities. The language of the Omnibus package not only protects patients from such medical bills, but it also allows doctors and hospitals to have a fair negotiation process with insurers. I will continue to advocate for fair healthcare prices and practices.

Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10) cosponsored H.R. 2328, The Community Health Investment, Modernization, and Excellence Act of 2019, which has been included in the Omnibus Package that passed the House of Representatives earlier today. This legislation aims to end surprise medical billing by shielding...

TURNER Supports OH-10 in Appropriations and COVID-19 Relief Package

This legislation is a much needed and long overdue step towards recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.

I will continue to support legislation that helps our community recover from the pandemic and its economic hardships.

With the support of Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10), the House passed an omnibus funding and COVID-19 relief bill. This legislation helps Americans navigate the healthcare and financial hardships that have resulted from the coronavirus pandemic, and also funds the government for the upcoming year. ....

TURNER Supports FY21 NDAA Conference Report

I am proud to support this year’s National Defense Authorization Act that puts America first. I’ve worked with my colleagues across the aisle to achieve this final bill, which invests $58.5 million in infrastructure at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, addresses the Department of Defense’s needs in the pandemic, modernizes the nuclear triad, increases diversity within our ranks, and includes provisions to prevent military sexual assault.
