Political Quotes

“the wealth of our Nation is the health of our people. Yet Republicans are doing everything in their power to make families sicker. They want to deny children food, ban abortion care, and obstruct the extension of the Affordable Care Act subsidies. This is dire for folks in my district where, in a 3-mile radius, life expectancy drops by 30 years. For my constituent, Paula, whose husband lost his job and became ill, the ACA has been their lifeline, carrying them through years of uncertainty as she became his caregiver. This is a healthcare crisis that Republicans created, and it is intersectional. Abortion care is healthcare. Once again, the Republicans are using abortion care as a political bargaining chip. The truth: Republicans will send premiums sky high just to stop families from using their own money on a plan that covers abortion. They are not just putting healthcare out of reach for millions; they are further restricting reproductive care. The shame and the sham of it all. Mr. Speaker, we have the votes to extend these subsidies and save healthcare for our constituents. The House must vote on it now.”
