Blumenthal Votes Against Funding Stopgap with No Support for Health Care Costs

[WASHINGTON, D.C.] – U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) released the following statement after voting against moving ahead with a stopgap spending measure that does not address rising health insurance costs:
“My position has always been: no affordable healthcare, no deal. I am unwilling to accept a vague promise for a vote at an indefinite time on an indeterminate bill. Millions of Americans and tens of thousands in Connecticut are forced to make impossible choices right now about what health insurance they can afford. The urgency of this moment demands action now to reduce health insurance costs.”
