The Republican shutdown suffering we see now, and the health care crisis barreling toward us, lies squarely with the party in power \u2014 Republicans!\"\n\n\u201cLet\u2019s be clear: Donald Trump and his rubber-stamp Republicans have never cared about federal workers, SNAP, or health care. This shutdown has been their vehicle to accelerate the devastation of Project 2025 \u2014 a plan they\u2019ve been implementing since day one. Now, more than 200,000 federal workers have already been fired or forced out since the Trump administration began. And they also called for the historic SNAP and Medicaid cuts embedded in Project 2025. The only reason Trump and his sycophants haven\u2019t gone further is because Congressional Democrats and engaged Americans have pushed back at every turn.\"\n\n\u201cTonight, 216 Republicans chose to kick millions of Americans off their health care, threatening tens of thousands of lives because they will be uninsured. In my district, 15,000 people will lose health coverage because Republicans refuse to extend the Affordable Care Act credits. Thirty-five thousand Ohio residents will see their costs rise if the credits expire.\"\n\n\u201cStatewide, more than 400,000 Ohioans will lose access to health care due to Trump\u2019s tax credit cuts and Medicaid reductions. That means less care, higher costs, and severe strain on our health care providers. If Republicans let the ACA tax credits expire, hospitals nationwide will lose $32 billion in provider payments in 2026, unpaid care will surge by another $8 billion, and Ohio hospitals will expect a 10 percent jump in uncompensated care.\"\n\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t just a moral catastrophe; it\u2019s an economic one. Everyone pays the price except Trump\u2019s rubber-stamp Republicans and their billionaire donors.\"\n\n\u201cI will continue to fight for affordable, accessible health care, and Democrats will not stop working to prevent cuts, lower costs, and save health care. We will continue the fight!\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:52:45Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://beatty.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/congresswoman-beatty-s-statement-on-the-house-budget-vote-deepening-the-republican-health-care-crisis"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5119598247110844, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
