Klobuchar Statement on Budget Bill

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) r
eleased the following statement on her vote against the budget bill.
“Lowering costs is the top priority for Minnesotans. I voted against this budget bill because it does not prevent health insurance premiums from doubling for so many in our state. The President and Congressional Republicans should have come to the table to work with us to lower these costs. In every other budget impasse or shutdown there were negotiations and compromise with the White House. I am committed to lowering health care costs and will do everything I can to get this done,”
said Klobuchar.
