A 50-year mortgage just shows how shortsighted this administration is.
For a slightly lower monthly payment, you end up paying WAY more interest in the long term.
We need to pass real solutions to bring down housing costs- not just move costs around to benefit big banks.

My full statement on the continuing resolution to end the government shutdown:
The president is willing to try everything - including unproven strategies that undercut Americans’ bargaining power - to avoid extending tax credits that we KNOW will bring premiums down.
It’s time for Republicans to get serious about addressing this health care crisis.

It’s unconscionable how hard this administration would fight the court to deny people access to nutritious foods.
But as they leave Americans behind, many of our states are stepping up to fill the gap.
That’s why I introduced the SNAP Back Act— to repay states that do the right thing.

This plan is plain and simple: reopen the government, and extend the ACA tax credits as-is for 1 year so families don't have to suffer while we work to negotiate long-term fixes.
We have the chance to make a real impact— I hope my Republican colleagues will join us.

People are already feeling the pain of higher grocery bills, housing costs, and energy costs— they can't afford the cost of health care skyrocketing even further.
They thought Trump's 'Golden Age' meant affordable gold plans, but all they got was an outrageous golden ballroom.

With open enrollment underway and premiums set to skyrocket, I met with health care advocates in Wilmington to discuss the impacts they're seeing in our state.
We must act to end this health care crisis, reform our insurance system, and lower costs.
Delawareans can't wait.

This morning, I heard from Reverend Fleshman what skyrocketing premiums mean for our communities
These price hikes leave people with few options, and none of them are good— we need this administration to come to the table and take action to make care affordable for ALL of us.

After kicking millions of Americans off their insurance, Republicans are refusing to take action to prevent outrageous price hikes like this for millions more.
They're making our communities sicker and poorer, and they don't even seem to care.

Open enrollment begins today, and folks up and down our state are about to see what Republicans’ refusal to come to the table really costs.
Head to healthcare.gov to see what these skyrocketing premiums could mean for you and your family.

When open enrollment begins tomorrow, a 61-year-old in Georgetown will see a premium that’s *446% higher* than it was last year - $1,192.45 per month.
With everyday costs already high, this is simply unaffordable.
We cannot let this stand.

As the Trump admin. refuses to use emergency funds to help folks on SNAP, states like ours are stepping up.
I just introduced legislation that would make sure states aren’t left footing the bill.

Let Me Be Blunt: congressional Republicans are about to let our friends and neighbors go hungry.
42 MILLION people are about to lose access to food assistance.
It’s time for Republicans to come back to the table and help us fix this.

Thanks to Republicans in Washington, a 50-year-old couple in Middletown will see their premiums go up by 224% this Saturday.
Are there any Delawareans who want to spend more than $1,200 extra PER MONTH for their health coverage?

They may not act like it, but even Republicans know we have to take on skyrocketing health care costs.
To prove it, @mcbride.house.gov and I got together to connect Republicans with their own words about this crisis.

First, Republicans gutted health care access for millions of Americans.
Then, they shut down the government for 21 days— with no end in sight.
Now, they’re throwing themselves a party to celebrate.
Up next: YOUR premiums go up because of their inaction.

Trump promised to lower costs and help working class Americans.
Now, costs are higher than ever, and no one can find a new job.
His economic leadership has been nothing short of a disaster.
