I'm hearing from community members and care providers alike: Delawareans can't afford Republicans' health care crisis.
We need a solution—now.
Katheryn is right: we cannot give up on our friends and neighbors.

These cruel threats do nothing to bring down the temperature, bring people back to the table, or reopen the government.
The law is clear— federal workers shouldn't suffer because this administration refuses to negotiate.
Reposted bySenator Lisa Blunt Rochester
The letter of the law is as plain as can be—federal workers, including furloughed workers, are entitled to their backpay following a shutdown.
Another baseless attempt to try and scare & intimidate workers by an administration run by crooks and cowards.
Working around the clock? House Republicans haven't been here in weeks.
If Republicans were the ones concerned about health care, they'd be negotiating to avert the health care crisis THEY created.
It's time for the GOP to come back to Washington and do their job.
We should be doing everything in our power to protect our friends and neighbors from the oncoming health care crisis.
Instead, Republicans refused to negotiate and shut down the government.
My message? Get back to Washington and do your job.
Republicans know this is a lie, but they repeat it anyway.
It's because they can't defend kicking millions off of their insurance and raising costs for everyone.
Reposted bySenator Lisa Blunt Rochester
After shutting down the government, House Republicans went on vacation all this week.
Now they're on vacation ALL NEXT WEEK, TOO. It's absurd.
No one should pretend Republicans care about reopening government or saving your health care.
Republicans shut down the government, left town, and refuse to come back.
All to protect their billionaire tax cuts and keep millions of Americans uninsured.
Republicans need to come back to work and reopen the government.
Reposted bySenator Lisa Blunt Rochester
Wanna know whose shutdown this is?
Pay attention to who’s enjoying it.
Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House.
They could end this shutdown if they wanted to.
Instead, they keep trying to pass a bill that pushes us closer to a health care catastrophe.

15 million people kicked off their health care.
Health insurance costs for families will massively increase.
Republicans shut down the government to make YOUR health care more expensive.
Reposted bySenator Lisa Blunt Rochester
We're not asking for the moon here. We’re trying to help Americans pay for their health insurance.
Translation: House Republicans are RULING OUT reopening the government.
The American people can't afford your inaction, Mr. Speaker.
People aren't reading polls, they're reading their bills and they know costs are skyrocketing thanks to this administration.
That's why I'm here— to fight for Delawareans and folks all across the country who feel left behind.
This is yet another attempt to mislead you— rates aren't set in December, they're going out NOW.
While Republicans pretend like it's no big deal, millions of our friends and neighbors are about to be priced out of their coverage.
This just shows the warped perspective this administration has on government.
There aren't 'Democrat Agencies' or 'Republican Agencies'.
Federal Agencies exist to help EVERY American, regardless of party. Shutting them down hurts all of us.
We're not saying we have a perfect health care system, but we can't break it even further and let people's costs skyrocket.
People are already hurting, and every day Republicans refuse to come to the table makes things worse.
We're entering the second day of the Republican government shutdown, and they STILL haven't come to the table to negotiate.
The government is shuttered and we're on the brink of a health care catastrophe. What are they waiting for?
This is a blatant attempt by the Trump administration to go after opponents by illegally withholding funds, killing jobs, and raising energy costs for red and blue states alike.
If they think this is a winning strategy, they're dead wrong.
I won't be swayed by corrupt abuses of power.
Let Me Be Blunt: Republicans just shut down the government.
