Across the nation, Donald Trump and Republicans are bringing cataclysmic harm to the American people: rural hospitals and maternity wards are shuttering, thousands of hospital workers have been laid off, and next year’s health insurance premiums for over 20 million Americans are skyrocketing – more than double on average. Protect Our Care’s own Hospital Crisis Watch has tracked at least 500 health care providers at risk of closing or closed due to the GOP’s war on health care.

Now, Republicans are holding the government hostage in order to rip away health care tax credits for working families. The endless headlines are inescapable and serve as a painful reminder of Donald Trump and Republicans’ decision to put the needs of billionaires and big corporations over working people  –  a betrayal the American people will never forget.
