Larson | L000557 | larson.house.gov | larson | https://larson.house.gov/media-center/press-releases | scraper | “Republicans’ health care plan is simply insulting for families across the country who are already having to decide between enrolling in health insurance and paying the rent,” said Larson. “While Democrats have been fighting to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, Republicans have somehow cooked up a plan that raises costs AND leaves more Americans uninsured. Kicking 15 million Americans off their health insurance isn’t enough for them. In the wealthiest nation in the world, health care should be a right, not a privilege for the wealthy few. A bipartisan majority of Members have spoken and are demanding action to protect access to care and lower costs. Will Speaker Johnson and Republicans have the courage to stand up for their constituents and vote, or will they continue to run and hide? The American people can’t wait.” Larson has called for renewed negotiations to solve the Republicans’ health care crisis and signed on to a discharge petition with House Democrats to force a vote on their plan to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits. Today, the petition reached the 218-signature threshold required to force a House vote after four Republicans signed on. Last week, Senate Republicans blocked Democrats’ plan to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z |
