At a time when people are already struggling to pay bills, this Republican government is inflicting pain on the American people through its abuses of power, which are driving up costs for health care. Republicans are threatening to shut down the government unless they get to continue their health care crisis. Read Protect Our Care’s report on Republicans’ assault on health care here.
Republicans will shut down the government unless they can drive cuts to rural health care that will kill jobs, force more Americans to travel further for maternity care and emergency rooms, and face longer wait times and higher costs.
Democrats are ready to vote for bipartisan budgets that stop this pain, but won’t be complicit in hurting the American people.
Republicans have full control of the federal government. The question is: Will they force a shutdown and continue the pain that people are going through or will they work with Democrats to protect American families?
