Carter, Sr. (D-LA) released the following statement:\n\n\u201cI am deeply disappointed in the Senate for abandoning the fight for affordable health care for working families.\n\n\u201cAfter seven long weeks of negotiation, the decision to walk away from extending Affordable Care Act tax credits is nothing short of unconscionable. This failure will force millions of Americans\u2014teachers, laborers, seniors, and parents\u2014to pay more for the care they depend on, and some will face the heartbreaking choice between seeing a doctor and paying the rent.\n\n\u201cHealth care is not a luxury. It is a basic human right. The cost of living in America is already too high, and stripping away relief for working people only deepens the burden.\n\n\u201cI stand firmly with Leader Hakeem Jeffries and House Democrats in rejecting any legislation that abandons the health and well-being of our citizens. We must continue to fight until every American family has access to affordable, quality health care\u2014because the promise of this nation must include the dignity of good health.\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://troycarter.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-carter-statement-senates-failure-protect-affordable-health-care"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8002938702702522, "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"}
