It\u2019s also the first day that 700,000 Wisconsinites will miss their November FoodShare benefits if the Administration fails to follow the recent court rulings ordering it to use existing SNAP funds and authority to do so. In response, Congresswoman Moore released the following statement:\n\n\u201cToday is November 1st. It marks the beginning of ACA open enrollment, where Wisconsinites and Americans across the country will feel the sticker shock of Republican inaction. Without premium subsidies, these costs will increase, sometimes tripling for Wisconsinites across the state. As they shop for plans, families will be forced to pay more for the coverage they need, and some may be forced to forgo health care altogether.\n\nThis comes as the Administration unlawfully refused to use SNAP emergency contingency funding, meaning 700,000 Wisconsinites will be deprived of their November benefits. Families will wonder how they will keep food on the table. Food banks will be stretched beyond capacity. This didn\u2019t have to happen. Even if the Administration complies with the court order, it will likely take some time for states to load benefits for recipients. If it appeals, it only further denies needed food assistance to hungry Americans.\n\nMeanwhile, the President is busy updating the public on his marble bathroom renovations and House Republicans remain on vacation for a fifth straight week. Rising health care, housing, and food costs are realities for too many of my constituents which is why I am fighting for a bipartisan end to this shutdown. Democrats will continue pushing for Republicans to address the health care crisis and pressing the Trump administration to use its contingency funding and authority to keep food on the table for 42 million Americans.\u201d\n\nRepublican Inaction Creating Health Care Crisis\n\nExamples of Health Care Spikes in Wisconsin\n\nOn average, a 60-year-old Wisconsinite making just over $63,000 per year will face a $10,568 increase in their health insurance premium.\n\n\u2022 On average, a 40-year-old Wisconsinite making around $65,000 will see their annual premium increase $2,057.\n\nWisconsinites Who Will Face Disruption of FoodShare Benefits in November\n\nSNAP (FoodShare) serves 700,000 Wisconsinites, an estimated 1 in 8 residents.\n\nIn Wisconsin, there are 18,000 veterans who depend on FoodShare.\n\nMore than 60 percent of Wisconsinites who depend on FoodShare are in families with children.\n\nMore than 36 percent of Wisconsinites who depend on FoodShare are in families with seniors or individuals with disabilities.\n\nMore than 45 percent of Wisconsinites who depend on FoodShare are in working families.", 1, "2026-04-07T15:46:19Z", "2026-04-07T20:18:39Z"]], "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://gwenmoore.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=5788"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.8083197064697742, "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"}
