WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA) delivered a speech on the U.S. Senate floor defending the Jones Act and warning against waivers of the law, which protects Louisiana ports, shipyards, energy producers, and maritime workers from unfair competition from foreign vessels and labor.
“[The Jones Act] supports American industry. In my state, Louisiana ports, shipyards, energy producers, maritime workers, are a large portion of the state's economy,” said Dr. Cassidy.
Cassidy Delivers Floor Speech Urging Congress to Make Flood Insurance Affordable Again | U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy
Position: Senator Cassidy calls for long-term reform of the National Flood Insurance Program to make flood insurance more affordable, citing rising premiums under the Biden administration's Risk Rating 2.0 policy that have forced hundreds of thousands of people to drop coverage.
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA) delivered a speech on the U.S. Senate floor highlighting the growing flood insurance affordability crisis ahead of hurricane season and calling for long-term reform of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). He urged colleagues to address rising costs driven by the Biden-era Risk Rating 2.0 policy and act before the next storm threatens Louisiana families.
“Every year, more and more people have to drop their National Flood Insurance Program coverage because it is too expensive and too unreliable, so this is about making flood insurance affordable again,” said Dr. Cassidy.
“I tell folks, I wake up every morning and think about how to make life better for the people of my state and my country, and I can tell you that reliable, accountable, affordable flood insurance is part of that,” continued Dr. Cassidy.
Cassidy’s remarks as prepared for delivery are below:
Hurricane Season is less than three weeks away.
We’ve got to act now to make flood insurance affordable again before it’s too late.
Last year, thankfully, no hurricanes hit Louisiana.
Now, no hurricanes hitting my state—that’s good news for everybody in Louisiana!
But especially for homeowners who do not have flood insurance.
Every year, more and more have to drop National Flood Insurance Program coverage because it’s too expensive and unreliable.
Between 2022 and 2024, 70 THOUSAND people in Louisiana dropped coverage.
Last year, another 52 THOUSAND did the same.
They’re being priced out of flood protection by the rising costs of a post-Biden era flood insurance program.
Under Joe Biden, FEMA implemented Risk Rating 2.0 as a new risk assessment program, despite Congress never signing off.
Since 2023, rates have increased, making people’s flood insurance premiums so high they just cannot afford it.
They cannot pay their mortgage if they pay their flood insurance premium.
Mr. President, these are hardworking families just trying to do the right thing, having to choose between paying their mortgage, buying food, taking care of their kids, and having flood insurance.
They would like to have flood insurance.
They would like to go to sleep at night knowing that they are protected if some terrible flooding event occurs.
For example, in 2016, a 46-foot river crest swept the land completely out from underneath a Cypress Point home, even though they elevated it above the base Flood Elevation.
This is a family doing everything right, but a natural disaster still wiped out their home.
It would be great if they had flood insurance. But it’s possible they can’t afford it.
So, if Congress has the power to guarantee reliable flood insurance that people can afford, why don’t we?
Instead, nearly one-fifth of folks in Louisiana on the National Flood Insurance Program—nearly a hundred thousand—can no longer afford their insurance.
By the way, this is a problem nationwide.
Millions of Americans across the nation rely on the National Flood Insurance Program.
They’re all getting pounded by Risk Rating 2.0.
I’m leading a group of Republicans who, last year, tried to end the policy.
I recently followed up with FEMA, asking that they be urgent in addressing the harm Risk Rating 2.0 is doing to the flood insurance program for people in Louisiana and across the nation.
I understand, as does President Trump, that the American people need to be able to afford every day goods.
And right now, they cannot afford flood insurance.
In 2019, President Trump and I worked together to delay Risk Rating 2.0 for a year. Let’s do that again, but let’s make it permanent.
The American people need flood insurance which is affordable and also reliable.
Right now, the NFIP relies on Congress to both fund and authorize the program.
Fund, meaning that if funding is ever withheld by Congress—like the Democrats have done multiple times this Congress—the National Flood Insurance Program cannot operate effectively, leaving millions of Americans hanging in uncertainty.
Now, Congress must vote every year to reinstate the program.
I introduced legislation to automatically extend the program to operate during a lapse in authorization—so it can still issue policies, renew contracts, pay claims, and access funding.
Coverage should be there, whether politicians decide to get their act together or not.
Congress needs to act, and soon.
In the meantime, federal support is critical.
In President Trump’s first administration, he created a program called BRIC—short for Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities.
The BRIC program provided cost- and life-saving grants that Louisiana benefited from.
President Trump’s second administration assured me they would release more BRIC funds, and I’m pleased to say, FEMA just announced that a new round of BRIC funding has been released—1 BILLION dollars to help states impacted by natural disasters.
Louisiana will certainly benefit.
I have been fighting consistently to get this done, and I’m pleased that it has.
But as much as we need recovery assistance, we in Louisiana know that the best way to lower the cost of flood insurance is by making sure you don’t flood in the first place.
That’s why, through my work negotiating the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, our state has gotten hundreds of millions for flood mitigation and coastal restoration.
This is a bargain for the federal taxpayer, because it’s easier and cheaper to prevent a flood than it is to pick up the pieces afterward.
One example is if you go from Kenner to Baton Rouge, and you pass LaPlace, you’ll see construction on a huge flood control structure, which I toured last August.
That has received over a BILLION dollars, which I’ve obtained to prevent those people from flooding and to prevent the National Flood Insurance Program from having to pay out a benefit.
I’m a doctor. I know that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
In this case, 1.2 BILLION dollars for prevention is worth maybe 70 billion in recovery.
Go to Terrebonne or Lafourche Parish, and you’ll go by the Morganza to the Gulf levee project.
This is a project with tremendous local support, for which I’ve been able to get 615 MILLION dollars through the infrastructure bill and other mechanisms, including a funding package recently signed into law by President Trump.
And you know the positive impact of this?
Even before completion, when Hurricane Ida came, they said there were 10 THOUSAND homes that did not flood.
That’s ten THOUSAND claims that did not have to be paid.
10 THOUSAND homes that did not need to be cleaned out.
That saved the taxpayer money, aside from the fact that those families were able to continue working, going to school, living as usual, keeping our society and our economy running.
I find that moms rest easier knowing their families will stay safe and dry when the next storm comes.
The funding I am delivering gives her that peace of mind.
I wake up every morning, and I think about how to make life better for the people in my state and in my country.
I can tell you: reliable, accountable, affordable flood insurance makes life better.
That’s what I’m working towards as I continue sending tax dollars back to my state for flood prevention.
Cassidy Leads Entire Louisiana Republican Delegation in Protecting Women & Babies from Dangerous Abortion Drugs, Upholding Louisiana Values | U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy
Position: Senator Cassidy and the Louisiana Republican delegation support reinstating the in-person dispensing requirement for mifepristone and oppose the FDA's approval of mail-order chemical abortion drugs, arguing they pose safety risks to women and unborn children.
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA), Chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, led the entire Louisiana Republican congressional delegation, including U.S. Senator John Kennedy (R-LA), U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), U.S. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA), U.S. Representatives Clay Higgins (R-LA) and Julia Letlow (R-LA), in filing an amicus brief in the U.S. Supreme Court supporting Louisiana’s lawsuit to protect women and their unborn children from dangerous mail-order chemical abortion drugs. The brief argues mifepristone’s in-person dispensing requirement must be reinstated. More than 100 Republican lawmakers, including U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), signed onto Cassidy’s brief.
“I am grateful to my home state of Louisiana for leading the effort to defend women and babies in our state and across the country. Chemical abortion drugs kill innocent children and put mothers’ lives at risk,” said Dr. Cassidy. “Safeguards protecting against coercion, such as the in-person dispensing requirement, must be reinstated immediately. The Fifth Circuit got this right, and I urge the Supreme Court to affirm that decision.”
“By leading the way against dangerous mail-order chemical abortion drugs, Louisiana’s proving once again that it stands strong for innocent life. I’ll always be proud to support our state’s pro-life values, and I hope and pray that the Fifth Circuit’s ruling—in favor of federalism and the safety of women and girls—prevails at the Supreme Court,” said Senator Kennedy.
“We filed this brief because the Biden FDA’s approval of chemical abortion drugs plainly puts young women and their unborn children at risk. The state of Louisiana has done heroic work in leading the fight against mail-order, on-demand abortion drugs, and the 5th Circuit was right to block the FDA from continuing this dangerous practice. We urge the Supreme Court to affirm that decision and protect women and babies nationwide,” said Speaker Johnson.
“There are legitimate concerns about these drugs putting women and girls at significant risk,” said Leader Thune. “I urge the Supreme Court to reinstate the safety guardrails that were in place before the Biden administration while the Department of Health and Human Services reviews these drugs.”
As a strong pro-life leader, Cassidy has an A+ rating on Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America’s 2025 National Pro-Life Scorecard. As Chairman of the HELP Committee, Cassidy led a hearing in January with Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill on the dangers of chemical abortion drugs. He is also leading conservative Republicans calling on U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and FDA Commissioner Marty Makary to fulfill their promise to complete a safety review of abortion drugs. Previously, Cassidy led 58 Republican lawmakers in an amicus brief to the district court, arguing that the illegal Biden policy must be overturned.
“We’re deeply grateful to pro-life champions Senator Bill Cassidy and Representative Chris Smith for leading this amicus brief in support of Louisiana and courageous survivor Rosalie Markezich against the FDA’s reckless mail-order abortion policy,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, President, Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America. “The FDA’s decision to side with the abortion industry and allow dangerous abortion drugs to be shipped nationwide without an in-person doctor’s visit is unacceptable. This policy kills countless unborn children, enables coercion and abuse, and gravely endangers women and girls, while the FDA callously ignores the well-documented harms that states and survivors have warned about for years. We are thankful for the members of Congress fiercely supporting pro-life states like Louisiana and survivors who are seeking justice in court.”
"Louisiana has chosen to protect women and their babies by prohibiting mail-order abortion,” said Erica Inzina, J.D., Policy Director, Louisiana Right to Life. “It is unconscionable that the FDA would allow abortion drugs to be openly distributed without any safeguards whatsoever. These actions harm women and hinder states like Louisiana from being able to protect its citizens and enforce its laws. The abortion industry’s response to the 5th Circuit’s ruling, including promoting even more unsafe methods of elective abortion, is telling. For the abortion industry, it was never about women’s safety or health. Instead, it has always been about money and promoting abortion at all costs, even when it hurts the women they purport to help. The Supreme Court should uphold the 5th Circuit’s decision to halt the 2023 REMS and reinstate basic health standards. We are grateful for Senator Bill Cassidy and all of our elected officials on the state and federal level who continue to support women's health and the lives of unborn babies."
“I’m grateful for the Senators and Representatives who have signed this brief in support of Louisiana’s right to protect unborn children and their mothers,” said Tony Perkins, President, Family Research Council. “The rise of mail-order abortion has not only endangered women and unborn children, but also created new avenues for coercion and abuse. The FDA’s policy, which overrides state pro-life protections, undermines both the rule of law and the safety of those it claims to serve. It must be reversed.”
The brief is also supported by U.S. Senators Jim Banks (R-IN), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Katie Boyd Britt (R-AL), Ted Budd (R-NC), John Cornyn (R-TX), Tom Cotton (R-AR), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Mike Crapo (R-ID), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Steve Daines (R-MT), Deb Fischer (R-NE), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Josh Hawley (R-MO), John Hoeven (R-ND), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS), James Lankford (R-OK), Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-KS), Jerry Moran (R-KS), Rand Paul, M.D. (R-KY), Pete Ricketts (R-NE), James Risch (R-ID), Rick Scott (R-FL), Tim Sheehy (R-MT), Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), and Todd Young (R-IN).
