At a time when people are already struggling to pay bills, this Republican government is inflicting pain on the American people – their abuses of power that are driving up costs for health care. Republicans are threatening to shut down the government unless they get to continue their health care crisis.
Republicans will shut down the government unless they get to take away tax credits for insurance, nearly doubling health care costs for over 20 million Americans and ripping away health care from nearly 5 million.
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?
