Tonko Statement on GOP Spending Bill that Drives Up Healthcare for Millions

WASHINGTON DC — Congressman Paul D. Tonko released a statement following the House vote on the partisan GOP spending bill. “The cost of living is going up, and everyday Americans are struggling to make ends meet. What is Republicans’ solution to this moment? A tone-deaf CR that would send health care premiums under the Affordable Care Act through the roof, while rubber-stamping Trump’s economic agenda — ceding further power to the president and cementing his disastrous tariff war that is already hurting families and businesses. “I’ll never support a bill that further empowers Trump’s illegal, unconstitutional actions and denies millions more Americans affordable, accessible health care. I voted hell no to adding further pain for working families.”
