Stefany Shaheen’s Statement Opposing The Shutdown Deal

“Improving health care has been the cause of my life. It’s why I am running for congress. So I cannot support this deal when Speaker Johnson refuses to even allow a vote to extend health care tax credits. Too many people will see health care costs that are already too high skyrocket even further starting in January. This means more people will be uninsured, unable to see a doctor in times of need and risk bankruptcy because of a diagnosis. We need to both end this shutdown and extend the ACA tax credits. Otherwise, no deal. It’s essential to ensure people have access to health care and it’s past time to put paychecks back into people’s pockets and food back on families’ tables.”
