THE RECORD
Rep. Steven Horsford has represented Nevada's 4th Congressional District since 2019, after previously serving in the House from 2013 to 2015. He sits on the House Ways and Means Committee, which oversees the Medicare Advantage program, and has consistently stood up for the program and the seniors who depend on it. Horsford has called Medicare Advantage "a lifeline for diverse and underserved communities," and his record backs that up.
Why it Matters
He understands that for millions of older Americans — especially those in communities that have historically had less access to quality health care — Medicare Advantage is not just a coverage option. It is how they get dental care, vision care, hearing aids and the kind of coordinated support that helps them stay healthy and independent.
ON THE RECORD
In 2024, Horsford led a House letter to federal health officials expressing strong support for Medicare Advantage and urging them to protect the program from changes that would reduce benefits or raise costs for enrollees.
Horsford is a co-sponsor of the Improving Seniors' Timely Access to Care Act, a bipartisan bill that would make it faster and easier for seniors to get the care their doctors recommend — cutting unnecessary delays without reducing benefits or dismantling the program.
