“We are grateful for Congresswoman Stefanik’s commitment to safeguarding the Constitutional rights of all citizens, preserving the rule of law, strengthening the security of our borders, and standing up for police officers in New York and across the nation,” said Ed Mullins, President. “This is a difficult and hazardous time for law enforcement. In Washington, D.C. and New York, elected officials are mounting efforts to ‘defund the police’ and casting police officers as villains. The anti-police sentiment emanating from Washington, Albany and New York City is fueling policy experiments like sanctuary cities, bail reform, and selective prosecution that have made our communities less safe. The rhetoric of irresponsible politicians is encouraging an unprecedented rise in assaults and ambush attacks against officers that has corresponded to a rising murder rate in New York City and elsewhere."

Stefanik was one of original co-sponsors of legislation to address ‘surprise medical bills’ in a manner similar to New York’s approach that fairly balances the interests of insurers, hospitals, physicians and of course patients.

She also supported legislation (HR 1892) in 2018 to repeal the very problematic Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), extend funding for the Child Health Insurance Program, and to reduce hassles with the Meaningful Use Program. She also supported legislation (HR 1215) in 2017 that would have enacted comprehensive medical liability reform.
