John,
Once again, the United States is on the verge of a federal government
shutdown.
This time, it’s because Republicans want to cut Medicaid and let
Affordable Care Act subsidies expire at the end of this year, which could
drastically increase health care costs for the 24 million Americans who
have health insurance through the ACA marketplace and kick millions more
off Medicaid entirely.
Donald Trump and the GOP already made the largest cuts to Medicaid,
Medicare, SNAP, and other federal health care programs this summer with
their so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which will gut our care by more
than $1 TRILLION. Now, they’re trying to throw even more working-class
people under the bus again by letting these subsidies expire.
Justice Democrats’ Rep. Summer Lee put it perfectly: “Republicans would
rather shut down the government than extend healthcare tax credits for
working families across the country. This manufactured crisis is
unnecessary and preventable.”
Instead of letting Republicans get their way and force the struggling
working class to pay even more for care that already costs too much,
Democrats must use what little leverage they have and refuse to accept
Republicans’ disastrous agenda.
Justice Democrats are ready to hold the line, but we need Democratic
leadership — including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House
Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries — to do the same.
Back in March, Sen. Schumer caved and voted for the GOP bill, giving up
the little power our Party had and enabling it to pass. We can’t let that
happen again.

Democrats at large to stand strong and oppose Republicans’ harmful
spending bill!

Republicans will be responsible for the millions of federal workers who
won’t receive paychecks and the hundreds of thousands who could be
furloughed—all because they’re desperate to take healthcare away from
working families.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
