Rep. Dina Titus (NV-01) released the following statement about today’s House-passed government funding bill:

 

“I voted no on the Continuing Resolution because it is even worse than when it left the House.

 

"Senate Democrats capitulated with no concrete assurances of addressing the current Republican healthcare crisis. Meanwhile, Speaker Mike Johnson continuously refuses to commit the House to a vote on Affordable Care Act premium subsidy extensions. As a result of this inaction, thousands of Nevadans will lose their health insurance, and those who can afford the skyrocketing premiums will see costs double and, in some cases, triple.

 

"This would be reason enough to oppose the legislation; but beyond the failure to protect affordable healthcare for Nevadans, it codifies President Trump’s heartless rescissions which have resulted in over 600,000 deaths around the world caused by malnutrition and preventable diseases. The bill also allows Republican Senators to line their pockets with taxpayer dollars, and it slashes funding for needed water conservation programs in Southern Nevada.

 

“With their votes on this flawed spending bill together with the Big, Ugly, BS Bill, Republicans are leaving Nevadans sicker, hungrier, and poorer. Rest assured, I will not give up this fight. All of these indefensible decisions must be reversed.”
