Reps. Don Bacon and Mike Flood voted for harmful cuts that are raising costs for hardworking Nebraskans at the worst possible time. We need our representatives making life more affordable for everyone. #DefendingTheGoodLife #NE01 #NE02

78% of the American public agrees with us—tax credits making health care more affordable should be extended. Without action from our federal delegation, premiums will soon rise dramatically. #DefendingTheGoodLife #NE02

Thanks to those who were able to meet up with us this morning on short notice outside Congressman Don Bacon’s office. It’s time for the House to get back to work and lower health care costs while getting the government back open. #DefendingTheGoodLife #NE02

A government shutdown is one day away. It appears our federal delegation would rather shut the government down than consider finding ways to cut health care costs for hardworking Nebraskans. Without action now, costs will go up in the coming months. #DefendingTheGoodLife #NE02

We are two days away from the start of a government shutdown. We are calling on our entire federal delegation to reverse cuts to health care. Without this, insurance premiums will see a big rise in the coming months. #DefendingTheGoodLife #NE02
