*Gov. Whitmer Statement After Republicans Pass Extreme Budget Bill, Raising Cost of Health Care & Groceries to Cut Taxes for the Wealthy*   

   

*LANSING, Mich. *– Today, Governor Gretchen Whitmer issued the following statement after Republican members of Michigan’s congressional delegation in the U.S. House of Representatives voted to pass the extreme Republican budget bill which raises grocery and utility bills for working families, terminates health care for millions of Americans, and would result in the layoffs of hundreds of thousands of workers. Middle-class Americans will bear the brunt of these consequences while the Republican bill delivers a huge tax cut for the wealthy and adds $4.2 trillion to our national debt.   

 

“Today, Republicans in the United States House passed a reckless bill that threatens the health, security, and economic stability of millions—including hundreds of thousands of Michiganders who stand to lose their Medicaid coverage, and countless working families who rely on SNAP benefits to put food on the table. “Nearly 15,000 Michiganders sent stories to me about how these cuts will devastate their lives. My office shared their stories with members of our Congressional delegation, including Representatives John James, Tom Barrett, and Bill Huizenga. Today’s vote shows those Republicans ignored their constituents, leaving them with higher costs and without the health care they’ll need.   “I want to thank Michigan’s Democratic representatives for standing up for their constituents and voting to protect their health care, food security, and futures. I stand with them and remain committed to doing everything in my power to defend Michiganders. It’s time to stop playing politics with people’s lives and get to work on real, commonsense solutions that improve people’s lives.”
