Health care shouldn’t leave you wondering how you’re going to pay the bill.
We’re asking West Virginians to take a few minutes to share how high or unexpected health care costs have affected you, your family, or your community.

Remember: Ted Cruz never spoke a word about a “crisis“ in college sports when Texas A&M paid Jimbo Fisher over $70 million to do nothing.
That amount could’ve paid for the entire NIL of Ohio State’s ’24 title roster THREE times.
Listen when they tell you.
We will finish the Protect College Sports Act in the Senate this week.
I hope the House can pass it before Election Day.

The bill for OBBBA is coming due, more than a year later.
Millions have lost SNAP and Medicaid coverage. Families are turning to food pantries. One New Yorker watched her health premium rise from $0 to $850 a month.
The tax cuts, meanwhile, went where they always go.

While ideally everyone would utilize preventive care, the insurance business model is dependent on some people not making claims over a given period. Google "risk pool" or "adverse selection".
Dr Oz says the Trump administration will kick more than a million people off health insurance because some of them have "never filed a claim"

DraftKings developed an AI model to identify users most likely to lose money so that it could target them with promotions. When employees then developed a model that would have assigned “risk scores” based on users' likelihood to develop compulsive/addictive behaviors, the company sidelined it. nytimes.com/2026/09/19/busin…

Public opposition to data centers is real and growing across the political spectrum. At the very least, WV must eliminate all tax breaks for unpopular data centers, restore community control by repealing HB 2014, and codify real reporting + accountability for data centers.
"While state officials tout billions of dollars in proposed data center development as a benefit to WV, in reality those figures represent corporate investment for private profit. These dollars are not going to public budgets or even to West Virginians." westvirginiawatch.com/2026/0…

Overall, the poor polling of tax cuts here (One Big Beautiful Bill tax cuts, $5k rebates) and the good polling on health care should make policymakers consider whether they should squander progressive tax revenue (which polls well here!) on middle-class tax cuts or health care.
New @NBCNews national poll: Are you MORE or LESS likely to support a candidate who supports…
…Trump’s tax bill (OBBB)
36% more
42% less
…the war in Iran
24% more
57% less
…Trump’s $5,000 checks idea
21% more
46% less
…giving funding & weapons to Israel
25% more
55% less

Additionally, after adjusting for inflation, the total state budget has declined by nearly $600 million since FY19. Within that smaller budget, education's share of the budget- even when including the Hope Scholarship- has also shrunk as spending on incarceration increased.

Responsible budget analysis requires accounting for the impact of inflation. West Virginia's K-12 education spending is not up. The public school support program (funding formula) is 11% below 2009 levels and would be lower if not for the Third Grade Success Act.
