Steny Hoyer, a longstanding member of the U.S. Congress representing Maryland's 5th district, has recently shared several updates via social media regarding important healthcare and economic issues. As a senior figure in American politics with decades of experience, Hoyer continues to engage with constituents on matters affecting their daily lives.

On December 5, 2024, Hoyer reminded Medicare enrollees that the open enrollment period concludes on Saturday, December 7th. He encouraged individuals to explore new plans and benefits for the upcoming year by visiting "Medicare Open Enrollment ends this Saturday, Dec. 7th." He provided resources for assistance: "Visit https://t.co/o31vH8W9Cw or call 1-800-MEDICARE to see if you are eligible for lower costs and better coverage in the new year."

The following day, December 6, 2024, Hoyer commented on the latest employment figures released in the #JobsReport. He noted "Today's #JobsReport demonstrates the continued strength of America's job market and economy." The report highlighted an increase of "+227,000 jobs," contributing to "more than 16.3 million jobs under @POTUS," with unemployment rates remaining near historic lows.

Later that same day, Hoyer expressed his support for healthcare providers after meeting with representatives from Planned Parenthood Maryland and Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington DC. He commended their efforts by stating "Great to meet with @PPMaryland & @PPMWDC." Emphasizing the importance of access to healthcare services, he asserted that "We must continue to increase access to quality, affordable health care & strongly oppose attempts to end these services."
