- Casey: “In Pennsylvania alone, it is double-figure billions from the infrastructure bill. […] $13 billion for Pennsylvania for roads and bridges. That’s $13 billion that the state has never seen.”
- Casey: “One of the benefits of the [IRA] was the power that was granted to Medicare to negotiate for the lower drug prices. That’s going to be taking effect over the next couple of years, but in that same bill, we capped the cost of insulin at $35 a month for seniors and also limited the out of pocket costs.”

- Casey emphasized the infrastructure bill allocates significant funding to improve internet connectivity across Pennsylvania, particularly in rural areas where up to 30% of residents lack access. He added the investment in high-speed internet will also address urban dead spots and is expected to be one of the most transformative aspects of the legislation.
