WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Democratic Whip Katherine Clark (MA-5) joined advocates from Protect Our Care to launch the Sick Of It! campaign to hold Republicans accountable for their healthcare cuts and deliver an agenda for working families. Below is a transcript of her remarks: “Here’s what the Republican Party is about to find out. That when you screw with people’s health, when you go after their families, when you mess with their kids, there will be a price to pay. “Republicans chose to make this the centerpiece of their agenda. They chose to cut Medicare, Medicaid, and the ACA.They chose to cut taxes for the billionaire class by taking health insurance away from millions of people — including their own voters! And in most cases, especially their own voters. “Because, this isn’t just about blue states. In my district, 23,000 people are losing their insurance under the Big Ugly Law. But in Mike Johnson’s district, it’s nearly 40,000. “We are going to make sure that each and every one of those voters knows exactly who is to blame. For every hospital closure we see across this country. For every illness that goes untreated. For every prescription that is going unfilled. And we are going to make sure people know it’s because Republicans saw fit to spend their money on tax cuts for the Epstein Class instead of making sure that kids can go to the pediatrician. Instead of making sure that cancer patients get the treatment they deserve. “Thanks again to Brad Woodhouse, to Protect Our Care, to all our partners who are here, and especially my colleagues. We’re going to make sure this attack on the health of working families does not go unpunished. Because the American people are Sick Of It!” The full press conference can be viewed HERE .
