I cannot vote for a bill that skyrockets health care costs, forces rural hospitals to close, and takes health care away from New Mexicans who depend on it. Already, families can\u2019t afford their prescriptions, seniors are choosing between a gallon of milk and a shot of insulin, and veterans can\u2019t get the specialty care they\u2019ve earned.\n\nRepublicans control the House, the Senate, and the administration \u2014 and they\u2019re choosing to leave New Mexicans behind. I\u2019m eager to work with Republicans on a budget that addresses the real needs of Americans \u2014 one that protects the healthcare of working class families.\n\nThere is still time for real compromise and negotiation. I will continue to push for, and would support, a responsible, bipartisan agreement that keeps our rural hospitals open and healthcare costs down,\u201d said Vasquez.\n\nThis summer, Vasquez visited Socorro General Hospital, where staff warned that the Republican tax law threatens access to care for expectant mothers. He also visited Carlsbad Medical Center and heard from hospital leadership about how the tax law will limit access to care, raise insurance premiums, and worsen the provider shortage in the state. Vasquez has cosponsored legislation to reverse healthcare cuts and called on Congressional leadership to permanently extend ACA tax credits.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:10:29Z"]], "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://vasquez.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-gabe-vasquez-statement-vote-against-republican-continuing-resolution"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5493850223720074, "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"}
