Friends,
As I'm sure you've heard, earlier this week a group of Senate Democrats joined all Republicans on an appropriations deal to re-open the government. I wanted you to hear from me why I voted against that bill in the Senate.
Since July, I have been clear: to earn my vote, Republicans would have to do something to bring down the cost of health care for working and middle-class Michiganders. The promise of a vote in over a month does not meet that threshold.
For me, this was never about politics or Beltway gamesmanship. President Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ has plunged America into a health care crisis. That emergency has real life victims, and in Michigan, the average price of health care is increasing across the board, with some expected to see their premiums more than double.
What’s clear is that the old way of doing business continues to fail America. Leadership is about changing and adapting when there is real need, and unless we hear that, we will fail to meet the moment.
Thanks for reading,
Elissa
