Nothing like a Gatsby party for your uber rich friends at Mar-A-Lago while millions of your neighbors get priced out of health insurance.

Today enrollment for health insurance opens and millions of Americans including breast cancer survivors will see their premiums double.

The President needs to come to the table and work with us to extend the health care tax credits so Americans don’t lose their care.

In western MN, some people will see their health insurance premiums double if Congressional Republicans refuse to act.

In Moorhead, a family of four could see their monthly premiums increase from less than $200 to more than $500—an increase of $4,100 a year.

This Trump government shutdown is not like his last one. 

That was about building a wall that Mexico was supposed to pay for.  

This is about raising health care costs for millions of Americans. 
 
It’s time to end the shutdown and fix the Republican-made health care crisis.
