WASHINGTON, D.C. — Democratic Whip Katherine Clark (MA-5) released the following statement after House Republicans passed their Big, Ugly Bill, sending the legislation to Donald Trump’s desk:
"House Democrats will spend every day of the next 16 months making sure moms, dads, seniors, and veterans know that Republicans took away their health care, raised their energy bills, and hiked their grocery costs.
“When hospitals close, nursing homes turn away seniors, and insurance premiums skyrocket, the American people will know it's Republicans who made their lives harder and more expensive. When kids are forced to skip meals and pregnant moms can't find an OB/GYN, they will know it's because Republicans chose to prioritize tax breaks for billionaires.
"This is not what the American people voted for, and they will not forget this outright betrayal. We will make sure of it."
