Lofgren Opposes Senate Deal to Prolong Republicans' Healthcare Crisis

November 9, 2025 Press Release WASHINGTON, DC – Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren (CA-18) released the following statement after the Senate narrowly passed a proposal to extend government funding: "The deal passed by the Senate tonight fails millions of people," Rep. Lofgren said. "Americans need their healthcare costs to be lowered now. Getting the "promise of a vote" to extend ACA tax credits a month from now is just not good enough, especially given the lack of trust Senate Republicans have earned. This is not the time for Democrats to cave and accept empty promises, and I'm certainly not done fighting for Californians' healthcare." ### Issues : Growing a Strong Economy Health Care
