As the March 14 deadline for a government shutdown approaches, House Democratic leaders express strong opposition to the forthcoming Republican continuing resolution, which they label 'partisan.' They warn that it could jeopardize crucial funding for healthcare and veteran services. They emphasize protecting Medicaid as a non-negotiable priority. In contrast, Republicans accuse Democrats of intentionally causing a shutdown to gain political advantages, arguing this puts national safety and prosperity at risk. Overall, funding negotiations remain stalled amid this political standoff.
Republicans have decided to introduce a partisan continuing resolution that threatens to cut funding for healthcare, nutritional assistance and veterans benefits through the end of the current fiscal year.
Democrats have been fighting for language that constricts DOGE's ability to get around the funding guidelines passed by Congress.
House Democrats admitted they wanted a government shutdown, and now they're following through, deliberately making our country less safe and less prosperous just to score political points.
The Democratic leaders said they would 'enthusiastically support a bill that protects Social Security, Medicare, veterans health and Medicaid,' but that 'Medicaid is our redline.'
