In a series of tweets, she addresses significant issues concerning healthcare legislation and constituent concerns about recent political actions.

On February 11, 2025, Rep. Schrier tweeted about her professional insights into primary care: “As a doctor, I know the crucial role primary care plays in keeping people healthy, preventing chronic disease, and catching medical conditions earlier.” She further announced the introduction of bipartisan legislation aimed at strengthening Medicaid and improving access to primary care.

Later that day, Rep. Schrier shared her response to concerns raised by her constituents regarding actions taken by President Trump.
