We’re now six days into the Republican-manufactured government
shutdown.
And here’s the plain truth: The majority party in Congress shut it down
because they are committed to cutting health care.
Congressional Republicans shut down the government to protect Donald
Trump’s cruel Medicaid cuts and let health care premiums spike for working
families. They’re refusing to work with Democrats to reverse the damage
they created — all to keep the billionaire donors fueling Trump’s corrupt
hold on power happy.
There is absolutely no reason they can’t do their jobs and come to the
table to negotiate a deal.
Democrats are ready. We’ve
been ready. And every day, we’re holding the line to defend people’s
health care and reopen the government. But while we fight to protect care,
House Republicans are more interested in political spin and partisan
games. I won’t let them get away with it.
My neighbors in Delaware are already being furloughed. People who rely on
ACA coverage are staring down massive premium hikes. And if this shutdown
drags on, food assistance that families rely on to feed their children
will lapse, and veterans will lose services. And it’s all a direct result
of political choices made by Republicans in power.
I didn’t come to Congress to watch this kind of cruelty play out in
silence. I came here to fight for working families — and I’m staying in
this fight until the government is back open and care is protected because
lives depend on it.
Thanks for being in this with me. I’ll keep updating you as this unfolds.
