The following day, on November 28, 2024, he extended holiday greetings by wishing everyone "a Happy Thanksgiving full of gratitude, great food, and time spent with loved ones."

On November 29, 2024, Quigley highlighted a significant healthcare initiative by noting that "Democrats capped insulin costs at $35 a month for Medicare recipients." He advocated for expanding this cap to include all Americans regardless of their insurance status.
