Manchin Tours Wood County Senior Center, Wincore Windows to Highlight Benefits of Inflation Reduction Act

Parkersburg, WV – Today, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) visited Parkersburg to tour the new Wood County Senior Citizens Association senior center and Wincore Windows to highlight the benefits of the Inflation Reduction Act for West Virginia seniors and West Virginia businesses. Senator Manchin also visited the State Capitol yesterday for the legislative session. Photos from the visits can be found here and here.
 
“Today I visited the Wood County Senior Citizens Association senior center and Wincore Windows to discuss the benefits of the Inflation Reduction Act for West Virginia seniors and our businesses,” said Senator Manchin. “The Inflation Reduction Act lowers healthcare costs for hundreds of thousands of West Virginians on Medicare by capping out of pocket medical costs, lowering the cost of prescription drugs, capping the price of insulin to $35 a month, extending Affordable Care Act subsidies for three years and providing free vaccines for seniors. And the Inflation Reduction Act supported American energy security by onshoring our supply chains and manufacturing efforts, which is why Wincore and other facilities across the state are vital to these efforts. The Inflation Reduction Act also grows the market for Wincore’s products with incentives for West Virginia homeowners and businesses to make energy efficiency improvements. The Inflation Reduction Act helps so many West Virginians when they need it most, which is why I was proud to support this legislation which was signed into law on August 16, 2022. I look forward to seeing the benefits of this important bill for years to come.”
