However, the Senate failed to pass this legislation and protect the American people from a law that will raise health care costs and restrict access.\u00a0 Tonight, I voted in support of the House's bipartisan compromise to delay implementation of the Obamacare train wreck for one year and keep the doors of the federal government open. I urge Harry Reid and the Democratic Leadership to accept this compromise. \u201cHowever if the Senate refuses to work with the House, Members of the Armed Forces should not be subject to the Senate\u2019s political ploys.\u00a0 The Pay Our Military Act ensures that members of the Armed Forces will continue to receive pay, even in the case of a government shutdown. If the Senate fails to pass this legislation, they will be denying our men and women in uniform, who serve and defend our nation, the pay they deserve, in the event of a Senate-induced government shutdown.\u201d\n                      \n                      \t###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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://web.archive.org/web/20131002031128/http://goodlatte.house.gov:80/press_releases/455"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9765219874680042, "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"}
