Budzinski Statement on Republican Budget Resolution

<p><strong>WASHINGTON, D.C.</strong>&nbsp;— Today,&nbsp;<strong>Congresswoman Nikki Budzinski (IL-13)</strong>&nbsp;released the following statement after joining her Democratic colleagues in voting against the Republican Continuing Resolution.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“From the start, Democrats have been clear about what we’re fighting for on behalf of the American people. If Republicans wanted Democrats to join them in passing a government funding package, they needed to put forward measures that would stop their manufactured healthcare crisis.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“They had a chance to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits that save families thousands of dollars a year on their care. They had the chance to prevent devastating Medicaid cuts that would strip coverage from low-income families and threaten nursing home closures across Illinois.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“But Republicans refused. So today, my Democratic colleagues and I refused to back legislation that ignores this crisis, slashes healthcare, drives up costs, and leaves working families behind.”</p>
