Earl L. \u201cBuddy\u201d Carter (R-GA) voted no on legislation that would pave the way to funding Washington Democrats\u2019 build back broke agenda by increasing the national debt limit.\n\nWashington Democrats unnecessarily tied a vote on previously bipartisan health care relief to raising the debt limit, jeopardizing patients\u2019 access to affordable health care during a pandemic.\n\n\u201cPelosi and Schumer showed their true colors today. To fund their socialist tax and spending spree, which places a several trillion-dollar debt on future generations, they risked stripping away key protections for patients, particularly in rural communities, who already struggle accessing vital care,\u201d said Carter.\n\nPelosi rammed the bill through the House Floor on a nearly party-line 222-212 vote.\n\n\u201cBy needlessly tying together these two unrelated bills, Schumer and Pelosi are sending a clear message to Americans: their right to pass socialist spending scams is equal to your right to access your doctor.\n\n\u201cI am appalled that Congress has failed to maintain the bipartisan history of Medicare relief,\u201d said Carter.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:37:48Z"]], "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://buddycarter.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=8608"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9341118857264519, "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"}
