Congresswoman Nikema Williams Votes NO to Increasing Health Care Costs

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Nikema Williams (GA-05) released the following statement regarding the Continuing Resolution:

Congresswoman Nikema Williams (GA-05) said: 

“Republicans keep forcing families to make false choices with real consequences. It is outrageous to ask working families to trade their groceries for their health care, or their health care for their paychecks. I’ve been in Washington, D.C., week after week, ready and willing to negotiate in good faith with my Republican colleagues. They never came to the table to lower costs for Americans. Instead, the Senate sent us a resolution that fails to address the Republican health care crisis harming thousands in the Fighting Fifth and millions across our country.

I’m voting NO on this partisan Republican spending bill. I will not support policies that fail to meet the needs of the people, and any legislation that does not make health care more affordable fails to meet that need. Let’s reopen the government, fund SNAP, and save health care — we can and should be doing all three.”
