Political Quotes

“we are just a few hours away from the start of a government shutdown that could have been prevented by Washington Republicans just talking to us, but Donald Trump and Washington Republicans chose to, once again, put politics ahead of the American people. They won't come and talk to us. After slashing Medicaid and taking healthcare away from families who need it the most, Donald Trump and Washington Republicans are now shutting down the government because they refuse to come to the table, they refuse to have a conversation, and they refuse to work in a bipartisan way to stop a massive spike in healthcare costs for hard-working families--for all of you.

And it is clear that Donald Trump and Washington Republicans want you to have nothing--nothing--because they are doing everything they can to take away healthcare from as many Americans as possible.

So while Republicans, those folks here in Washington, fight for billionaires, Democrats are here fighting for you--for your healthcare, for your ability to see a doctor, to see a doctor and get your prescriptions without breaking the bank.”
