Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans are happy to let the government shut down and let you pay more for health care. Their plan will double ACA marketplace premiums if they refuse to extend the assistance millions of Americans rely on to afford their health care.

Rep. Diana DeGette@degette.house.govSep 30(source)

Republicans: Extending tax breaks for billionaires that are already in law is actually free. Also Republicans: Extending tax credits to keep health care costs down for middle-class Americans that are already in law is too expensive.

TrumpRx isn't a solution, it's a distraction. Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act, allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices for the first time, while Trump is gutting NIH & the National Cancer Institute. This will kill innovation while most Americans won't pay any less under this "plan."

Trump announces ‘TrumpRx’ site for discounted drugs and deal with Pfizer to lower prices | CNN Politics

President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday a multipronged effort aimed at lowering drug costs in the United States, including the creation of a “TrumpRx” direct-to-consumer website where Americans…

Keeping our government open is Congress’s most basic job. Yet with hours until a shutdown, House Republicans are on vacation. House Democrats and I are in Washington, ready to work to keep government open and lower health care costs. If the shutdown happens tonight, the GOP owns it.

Rep. Diana DeGette@degette.house.govSep 30(source)

In Denver, nearly 15,000 women, infants, & children are dependent on WIC for groceries, nutrition counseling & breastfeeding support. But Republicans are willing to rip this lifeline away with a government shutdown. Families shouldn’t have to worry about feeding their kids because of GOP chaos.

Rep. Diana DeGette@degette.house.govSep 29(source)

Congressional Republicans are “split” on whether or not to raise health care costs by thousands of dollars? Extending support for ACA premiums is a no-brainer, but clearly, Republican leaders are fine with letting health care costs skyrocket.

Republicans are split on extending Obamacare tax breaks as higher costs loom

Trump’s pollster warns that the GOP will pay a “political penalty” in the 2026 election if the funds expire this year. But many conservatives in the party say they should end on schedule.

Our public lands belong to all of us. But Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans want to open them up to dangerous drilling. On Public Lands Day, I’m fighting to protect Colorado’s precious lands and preserve our nation’s ecological & cultural heritage.

Rep. Diana DeGette@degette.house.govSep 26(source)

Donald Trump can’t even spell hepatitis right, why would you take medical advice from him? Please consult your doctor who actually knows what they’re talking about.

Rep. Diana DeGette@degette.house.govSep 26(source)

The charges against James Comey are a gross weaponization of the judicial system. Donald Trump is a wannabe dictator, using the Justice Department to go after his enemies in a clear step that is only seen in authoritarian regimes. Every American should be outraged by Trump’s abuse of power.

Ex-FBI Director James Comey indicted on criminal charges stemming from 2020 testimony

Comey faces one count of making false statements and one count of obstruction of justice in connection.

RFK Jr., with zero medical credentials, wants to control women’s health, again. Mifepristone is FDA-approved, has been safely taken for 25 years, and used in nearly 2/3 of U.S. abortions. This is dangerous and absurd.

RFK Jr. launches FDA review of abortion pill

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Republican states this week that the FDA would conduct a new review of abortion pills.

Rep. Diana DeGette@degette.house.govSep 25(source)

You know Donald Trump and Robert Kennedy Jr. went too far when J.D. Vance and Dr. Oz are on clean up duty for the administration. The fact of the matter is that Americans should listen to doctors, not Trump or RFK Jr., when it comes to medical decisions.

Honored to receive @acscan.bsky.social’s National Distinguished Advocacy Award. I will always fight for policies that support cancer patients, survivors, and their families, and continue to work alongside advocates leading the fight for a cancer-free future.

🚨 House Republicans want to rip away your health care to appease Trump. 🚨 Their cuts in the Big Bad Bill mean over 29K Denverites will lose Medicaid coverage & 22K more will see their costs skyrocket if they let ACA premium assistance expire. I won’t let your health care take a backseat to Trump.

Rep. Diana DeGette@degette.house.govSep 25(source)

From day one, I’ve said Medicaid paperwork requirements don’t save money or make people healthier—and a watchdog just confirmed it. Yet Trump & his GOP allies jammed them into the Big Bad Bill, wasting taxpayer dollars & kicking people off their health care. We need real solutions. Not failed ideas.

Republican lawmakers cite Georgia’s Pathways to Coverage as a national model for federal Medicaid work requirements that are set to take effect in 2027. A new report shows the program has spent at…

Now more than ever, it is critical that Americans listen to their doctors and health care teams for medical advice. The American people cannot trust RFK Jr. & Trump to put the American people's health and well being above their own evidence-free beliefs. (2/2)

Rep. Diana DeGette@degette.house.govSep 23(source)

RFK Jr. and Donald Trump have found neither a cause of autism nor a clearly effective treatment. According to doctors and the best available science, Tylenol is safe and effective for use in pregnancy and helps avert greater risks from fever and pain. (1/2)

Great to visit students and Principal Goss this morning at South High School. Go Ravens!

My full statement on H.Res. 719.

Rep. Diana DeGette@degette.house.govSep 19(source)

Instead of working with Dems to fund the government, lower costs, & protect access to care, Republicans took their cues from Trump, jamming through a go-it-alone bill. They can spin it—but Americans see the truth: health care costs will go up, coverage will be lost, & lives will be put at risk.
