What she files

Health tops her classified subjects with taxation behind. One bill would prevent tariff abuse; another improves chronic care management, which is the unglamorous business of coordinating treatment for people with several conditions at once — the population that consumes most of what health systems spend. The rest cover smart cities, kidney disease education, and one carrying an acronym.
