“This week, the House of Representatives will pass legislation to fund the government through December of this year to avoid a needless government shutdown that would harm American families and our economic recovery before the September 30th deadline. Both Republicans and Democrats have priorities they want to see addressed in the regular order appropriations process for Fiscal Year 2022, and an extension of government funding through December will provide an appropriate amount of time for that bipartisan, bicameral process to come to completion. In addition to avoiding an unnecessary government shutdown, this must-pass legislation will include the Administration’s request to provide emergency funding to help those devastated by the recent natural disasters as well as to help resettle our Afghan evacuees."

“Thanks to Democrats’ leadership in the American Rescue Plan, health coverage through the Affordable Care Act is more affordable than ever. With families facing a deadly pandemic and many losing health coverage at work, Democrats dramatically lowered the cost of premiums for those who purchase coverage on their own. These lower health costs have provided a lifeline to millions of families, and they must be sustained in the Build Back Better Act as we lower health costs and prescription drug prices, cover seniors’ dental, vision and hearing, and extend health coverage to the millions left behind by states’ refusal to expand Medicaid."
