"It's just a lie. You're not eligible to get these health benefits if you're not in this country legally. But the really upsetting thing is tens of millions of Americans - American citizens - are losing their health care or paying more for health care because of these Republican policies."
"Republicans are in charge, you control the House, you control the Senate, you control the White House, and in many ways you control the courts. If you're going to rip health care away from people, that's on you."
The federal government shut down after the Senate failed to pass continuing resolutions to fund operations. Democrats support a continuing resolution conditional on maintaining health care subsidies for Obamacare plans expiring at year's end. Republicans, including House Speaker Mike Johnson and Vice President JD Vance, have accused Democrats of demanding federal health care for undocumented immigrants as a condition for their support, despite this not appearing in the Democratic bill. Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg refuted these accusations as false, noting that undocumented immigrants are ineligible for these health benefits anyway. He emphasized that millions of American citizens are losing or paying more for health care due to Republican policies, and that Republicans control the House, Senate, White House, and courts.
