Friend,

Donald Trump and Republicans shut down the government because they don’t want to protect your healthcare.

Hospitals are already closing. Nursing homes are shutting down. Clinics in rural towns are going dark. And families across America are set to be hit with crushing premium hikes—premiums will rise 114% on average if tax credits expire, doubling costs for 22 million people.

Democrats came to the table ready to negotiate, to keep the government open and protect healthcare. Trump refused – and lied about ongoing negotiations with us. There aren’t any.

For months, Democrats have been calling on Trump and Congressional Republicans to come to the table and deliver lower costs and better healthcare for the American people. That offer still stands.

Instead, Trump is choosing chaos, spreading false claims and posting unhinged deepfake videos instead of doing his job. We can’t sit back while millions lose care they depend on.

Add your name: Demand Trump and the GOP work with Senate Democrats to end this shutdown and protect healthcare.

Sincerely,

Chuck Schumer
