Setting the record straight here: 1. NO ONE earning over $500,000 annually gets an ACA tax credit. 2. Undocumented immigrants are NOT eligible for ACA tax credits. 3. If Republicans do not pass an extension of ACA tax credits, premiums will rise by 114 percent next year.

Scott Statement on GOP Government Shutdown

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Bobby Scott (VA-03) issued the following statement after the federal government entered a shutdown: “Republicans control the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives. Congressional Democrats are in Washington ready to negotiate to keep the government open, while protecting the health care of the American people. House Republicans, regrettably, cancelled votes for this week and last week, and sent their members home.

Republicans clearly flunked civics in high school. Undocumented immigrants CAN'T get Medicare, Medicaid, or healthcare tax credits. It’s against the law. These guys lie because the facts are not on their side.

Instead of working with Democrats on a bipartisan spending bill, House Republicans have left town. Government funding runs out in just FIVE days. If the government shuts down, it will be on Republicans.

Scott Statement on Charlie Kirk Resolution

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Bobby Scott (VA-03) issued the following statement: “The assassination of Charlie Kirk was a reprehensible act. I unequivocally condemn political violence in all forms. Such violence cannot be tolerated or excused. It tears at the fabric of our society and the rise in political violence is a threat to every single American. The First Amendment guarantees the rights of all Americans to express their views and no one should fear violent reprisal.

Donald Trump and Republicans are taking health care away from millions of Americans. And they are increasing health care costs for millions of others. Click below to see the consequences of the GOP's health care agenda in your community. democrats-budget.house.gov/legislation/...

The Republican Health Care Crisis: Higher Costs, Less Coverage

Donald Trump and Republicans are executing a ruthless plot to take away Medicaid, dismantle the Affordable Care Act, and slash Medicare.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govSep 23(source)

I joined @protectourcare.org and my Virginia Democratic colleagues to urge Republicans to end their health care disaster and work with us to protect the Affordable Care Act’s expiring tax credits for working families. Over 326,000 Virginians rely on those tax credits. youtu.be/uqv6NAhGxEo?...

Trump Always Chickens Out. Donald Trump just cancelled a high stakes meeting in the Oval Office with myself and Leader Schumer. The extremists want to shut down the government because they are unwilling to address the Republican healthcare crisis that is devastating America. Hold the line.

Republicans control the House, Senate and White House. If the government shuts down because they refuse to pass a bipartisan spending bill, it will be on Republicans.

Proud to fight GOP attacks on health care alongside @bobbyscott.house.gov, @beyer.house.gov, @mcclellan.house.gov & @repsuhas.bsky.social. At a press call with @protectourcare.org, we urged Republicans to put politics aside & work with us to protect Medicaid & stop ACA premiums from skyrocketing.
