Republicans are giving Americans a false choice: pay much higher health care costs with rising premiums, or keep the government shut down.
The American people deserve better.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day…
Republicans have had 15 years to come up with their Obamacare alternative, and still have NOTHING.
Mike Johnson has kept House Republicans on vacation for three weeks rather than deal with the healthcare crisis.
No plan, no urgency, no credibility.
Republicans are giving Americans a false choice: pay much higher health care costs with rising premiums, or keep the government shut down.
The American people deserve better.
RIers are being stretched to the limits by rising health care & drug costs. Employers say it’s making it harder to keep the lights on. Instead of addressing the crisis, Republicans shut the government down. I’m fighting to reopen it & protect health care.

Happy #WorldTeachersDay! Today we celebrate Rhode Island educators and teachers everywhere for their passion and commitment to shaping brighter futures.

It’s National Seafood Month! 🐟
The perfect time to enjoy fresh, local seafood and support the hardworking Rhode Island fishermen who bring it to our plates.
House Republicans left town for vacation rather than working with us to fix our broken health care system and keep the government open.
To my colleagues across the aisle: Stop the cuts to Medicaid and ACA tax credits. Reopen the government. Save health care.
During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, remember to get annual screenings, support research, honor survivors, and stand with those courageously fighting this disease.
You have been doing no work. You literally closed the house and went on a two-week vacation with the government shutting down and healthcare costs set to explode.
Call back your members. Work with us. Do your job.
Tri-County Community Action Agency in Johnston delivers medical, dental, mental health, & family services to people across RI.
Costs for these services will be out of reach for many if Republican funding cuts take effect. The budget must include adequate health care funding.
I visited Kent Hospital in Warwick today & heard about how important it is to protect health care funding in the federal budget - for doctors, nurses, & especially for patients and families.
We must include health care funding in the budget so people can afford to get care.
Wishing all who observe a meaningful Yom Kippur. May this day of reflection and prayer bring peace, renewal, and hope for the year ahead. G’mar Chatima Tova.
Health care premiums are expected to rise by more than double unless Congress acts.
And what do Republicans in Congress do? Skip town for vacation and let the government shut down instead of fixing the mess they created. They control Congress. They own this.
Health care costs are rising because Trump and Republicans slashed billions from our health care system.
Now, as Congress negotiates government funding, Republicans are refusing to work on lowering costs for people.
RI’s commercial health insurance premiums are going up by as much as 22% next year. Thousands are going to lose coverage.
Republicans control Congress & the White House and can pass a budget to fix this, but are threatening a government shutdown instead.
The time to act is now.
We’re in a housing crisis, and Americans are already struggling to make ends meet.
Now Trump’s tariffs are set to drive housing costs even higher. It’s time to end these tariffs that only make life harder for working people.
