Krishnamoorthi Votes Against Senate Deal That “Fails the Basic Test of Protecting Americans’ Health Care”

WASHINGTON – Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi issued the following statement after voting against the government funding deal passed by the Republican-controlled Senate:

“I voted against this deal because it fails the basic test of protecting Americans’ health care. Too many families in Illinois are already stretched thin, and this agreement does nothing to stop premiums from skyrocketing even higher. The American people shouldn’t have to trust Donald Trump’s promises to keep their coverage affordable. We need real action that lowers costs and restores stability for working families, and I will continue to fight for it.”
