MoveOn: Moderate Senate Dems Are Completely Missing the Moment
WASHINGTON – In response to news that some congressional Democrats are signaling their willingness to back away from protecting ACA subsidies to make a deal with Republicans and the Trump administration to end the government shutdown, MoveOn Political Action Executive Director Katie Bethell released the following statement:
“Moderate Senate Democrats who are looking for an offramp right now are completely missing the moment if, on the heels of last night’s election landslide, they are entertaining the idea of capitulating to Trump and the Republicans in the fight to protect Americans’ health care. Voters have sent a resounding message: We want leaders who fight for us, and we want solutions that make life more affordable. The onus is on Republicans, who have total control of this shutdown, to bring the government back by restoring health care access, as the American public demands.”
