Becca Balint Statement on Republican Government Shut Down, Refusal to Protect Health Care | 2025-09-30 | 2025 | 2025-09 | Democrat | House | VT | Becca Balint | B001318 | balint.house.gov | balint | https://balint.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27 | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Today, Rep. Becca Balint (VT-AL), member of the House Budget Committee, released the following statement in response to Republicans' choice to shut down the government: “Republicans once again chose to turn their back on Americans’ health care. If they wanted to keep the government open, they would have returned to DC and taken a seat at the negotiating table with Democrats to protect health care for working Americans. I won’t just stand by and support their plans to rip away health care from millions. This is not what the American people want.” The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office confirmed that Republicans’ health care plan would strip coverage from 15 million Americans and send premiums soaring for millions more. Republican policies will impose the largest Medicare cut in American history. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T15:07:37Z |
