As America faces a looming health care crisis, House Republicans remain on vacation, refusing to lower health costs for Americans
As the nation wakes up to the first day of the Republican shutdown, House Republicans can’t be bothered to even come to work.
Millions of Americans are poised to get slapped with massive increases on their health care bills this fall, and poll after poll shows that voters want Congress to restore affordable health care and will hold Republicans responsible for their failed agenda.
But instead of doing their job, House Republicans have chosen to not even show up to work this week, cancelling all votes, shutting the government down, and threatening Americans’ livelihoods in the process.
DCCC Spokesperson Viet Shelton: “Republicans barrelled the nation towards a shutdown because they decided that averting skyrocketing health care costs for millions of Americans wasn’t worth their time. Make no mistake, Republicans own this shutdown, and they own the harm and higher costs working people across the country will face.”
