40 days after failing to fund the government, Speaker Mike Johnson finally returned to Washington—once again without a real plan to address rising healthcare costs. This bill does nothing to stop the Republican healthcare crisis. Just take a look at your healthcare premiums this open season. Parents will be forced to make the impossible choice between food, housing, or medication, thanks to Republicans’ cruel and inhumane policies. The Republican healthcare crisis is making Americans sicker, poorer, and worse off. I could never vote for a bill that puts American families in that position.
Congratulations to my colleague, Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva, on officially being sworn into Congress. After 50+ days of stalling tactics from the Speaker, Arizona’s 7th district finally has formal representation in Congress. Rep. Grijalva, I am proud to officially welcome you to the House and the largest class in Congressional Hispanic Caucus history!
