Republican Shutdown Day One: Kim Is MIA, Refuses to Do Her Job

As America faces a looming health care crisis, Young Kim and House Republicans remain on vacation, refusing to lower health costs for Americans

As Californians wake up to the first day of the Republican shutdown, Young Kim and 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 in the next few months, 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, Kim and 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 Anna Elsasser:
“Young Kim helped House Republicans barrel the nation towards a shutdown because she decided that averting skyrocketing health care costs for millions of Americans wasn’t worth her time. Make no mistake, Kim owns this shutdown, and she owns the harm and higher costs facing working Californians.”
