Washington, DC - In anticipation of a potential government shutdown, People For the American Way President Svante Myrick released the following statement:
“Republicans would rather shut down the government than fix the mess they caused by cutting healthcare funding. It’s outrageous. They would let rural hospitals close and working families be priced out of insurance instead of governing with reason. This shutdown will be squarely on Republicans' shoulders, and the American people will not soon forget.”
