They have wielded their power to line the pockets of the wealthy. Earlier this year, Republicans gutted Medicaid by over a trillion dollars and cut food assistance for families in need by $186 billion. This bill continues their attack on families.\n\n\u201cHouse Democrats took up the fight to protect affordable healthcare. Texas has the highest rate of uninsured folks in the country, and Affordable Care Act tax credits helped 3 million Texans afford healthcare. For far too many, this now means the difference between life and death.\n\n\u201cI will continue to fight for the healthcare that Texans and people across the country need and deserve.\u201d", 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://castro.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/castro-statement-on-government-spending-bill"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.3436819426715374, "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"}
