Instead, we are here talking about holding government funding hostage in exchange for decimating the Affordable Care Act. Enough is enough. Remember when the guy threw the window up in that movie ``Network''? We are not going to take it anymore. The Republican budget would result in 16 million fewer Americans having health insurance and a 20 percent increase in insurance premiums. A vote for this bill is a vote against those 16 million Americans. A vote for this bill is a vote for higher premiums. On top of that, this budget doesn't even balance. After 2025, deficits under this budget would begin to skyrocket. It is not a balanced budget. This is a fake. Why don't we sit down and come up with a mutual plan instead of ``a bipartisan fraud''?
