Dingell Statement on House Passage of Republican Reconciliation Bill
Washington,
May 22, 2025
Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-06) released the following statement on the House passage of Republicans’ reconciliation bill. “This is one of the most consequential bills the Congress has passed in this century. It is going to rip health care away from almost 14 million people, make the biggest cuts to food assistance in history, and raise prices across the board. People will die, children will go hungry, and working Americans will continue to struggle to make ends meet, all so Republicans can give another tax break to billionaires. It’s wrong and they know it – which is why they planned to pass it in the middle of the night. The fight isn’t over, and we will continue to use every tool at our disposal to defeat this cruel, dangerous bill.” Democrats offered hundreds of amendments to prevent cuts to health care and food assistance, but Republicans rejected every single one. |
