On the recordDecember 17, 2025
earlier this year, House Republicans passed a bill that strips healthcare from millions of Americans and raises costs for millions more. That was a monstrous bill, but this is a cowardly bill. It does nothing to stop the skyrocketing costs that we have been warning about for months. Nothing in this bill will extend the tax credits that help 20 million Americans afford health insurance. This bill won't stop the Republican cuts that will raise my constituents' costs by $900 a month or restore coverage to millions whose coverage was sacrificed to give billionaires tax cuts. The developed countries around the world have figured out how to give affordable healthcare to their citizens. A vote for this bill is a vote for the Republican healthcare crisis.
