Across my community, I\u2019m hearing from constituents whose healthcare costs are skyrocketing without the wages to keep pace. Since the start of Trump\u2019s shutdown, I have made my position clear: I cannot support a government funding agreement that doesn\u2019t protect healthcare and rein in Trump\u2019s lawlessness. This agreement does neither. I will not support it.\n\n\u201cAs a physician, I\u2019ve seen what happens when people can\u2019t afford healthcare. They are forced to make impossible choices. Do they buy groceries or fill a prescription? Do they pay rent or get their cancer screening? In the richest nation on the planet, our communities deserve better than this.\n\n\u201cI am angry, and Oregonians should be too. However, now is not the time to despair. Now is the time to redouble our efforts to address the healthcare crisis with the urgency and compassion our communities deserve. That is exactly what I will work to do every single day in Congress.\u201d\n\nWatch Dexter\u2019s speech on the House floor against this legislation here.\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://dexter.house.gov/media/press-releases/dexter-rejects-senate-failure-protect-healthcare"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.630472019314766, "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"}
