Denounce the 8 Dems Who Caved to the GOP on Healthcare Costs

The fight to protect affordable healthcare was supposed to be non-negotiable. For weeks, Democrats stood united through a painful government shutdown to stop Donald Trump and Republican extremists from slashing healthcare subsidies and driving up costs for millions of Americans.

But at the last minute, eight Senate Democrats broke ranks — handing Trump a victory that will leave working families paying the price. Senators Tim Kaine, Dick Durbin, John Fetterman, Jeanne Shaheen, Maggie Hassan, Angus King, Catherine Cortez Masto, and Jacky Rosen voted for a deal that reopens the government without restoring the Affordable Care Act subsidies that keep coverage affordable for millions.

Their votes guarantee one thing: higher healthcare costs for millions of Americans. Without these subsidies, families could see their monthly premiums double next year. Seniors will pay more for prescriptions, and younger families will face impossible choices between rent, groceries, and healthcare.

Now, it’s up to us to hold them accountable. Add your name to publicly denounce the eight Democrats who caved to Trump and the GOP — and send a clear message that voters will not forget who stood up for affordable care and who sold it out.

These eight Democrats threw their own colleagues — and the American people — under the bus. Every Democrat in Congress had fought side by side to hold the line, to make sure Trump didn’t win by making healthcare more expensive and less accessible. And after weeks of sacrifice and suffering during the shutdown, these senators surrendered it all.

All of the pain inflicted by Trump’s shutdown — the lost paychecks, delayed benefits, and mounting hardship — now feels like it was for nothing. Their cowardice let Trump and the GOP claim victory while working families get stuck with the bill.

Sign now to denounce the eight Democrats who caved to the GOP on healthcare costs — and stand with the millions of Americans who deserve affordable healthcare, not political betrayal.
