$125 increase per person. That’s the reality that Kathleen in Kent is facing. Republicans are trying to strip your health care by jacking up monthly costs. They must come back to work and deliver for families like Kathleens. I will continue to stand up for you and your health insurance.

Rep. Adam Smith@adamsmith.house.govNov 7(source)

The President doesn't care about affordability, but I know many in the Seattle-area are struggling to make ends meet right now. I'm fighting to lower costs for you.

Rep. Adam Smith@adamsmith.house.govNov 7(source)

The Trump Administration is making a choice to fight against a court order mandating they feed 42 million Americans. They are intent on inflicting the maximum amount of pain on the American people from this shutdown.

Trump admin challenges judge’s order to Pay SNAP benefits in full

Trump admin attorneys filed an appeal challenging Thursday’s ruling that the federal government is required to pay full SNAP benefits.

Rep. Adam Smith@adamsmith.house.govNov 7(source)

Uncompensated care is a huge part of what drives up costs for providers, so we are trying to cover as many Americans as possible under the Affordable Care Act to lower health care prices for all in the marketplace.

Rep. Adam Smith@adamsmith.house.govNov 6(source)

This is robbing Washingtonians of thousands of dollars they need to access critical health care.

Rep. Adam Smith@adamsmith.house.govNov 6(source)

A couple in Seattle could see their monthly health insurance bill increase by over $1,500 next year all because Republicans would rather fund billionaire tax breaks than allow middle class and working-class families to afford coverage.

I'm grateful to have worked with her throughout the years, witnessed her making history, and setting an example of leadership for generations to come. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Rep. Adam Smith@adamsmith.house.govNov 6(source)

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has loyally served her constituents in California, as well as her fellow Americans across the country.

Rep. Adam Smith@adamsmith.house.govNov 6(source)

Just last week, President Trump capped refugee admissions at a historic low of 7,500 individuals over the next year. We must resettle refugees who are most at risk and not deny those who have sought safety for years.

Rep. Adam Smith@adamsmith.house.govNov 6(source)

In a time when the President and his administration are targeting immigrants and those seeking a better future, I am proud to be an original cosponsor of the Lady Liberty Act. This legislation would require the President to set a goal of admitting no less than 125,000 refugees annually.

Rep. Adam Smith@adamsmith.house.govNov 6(source)

The Republicans and Donald Trump have refused to meet with Democrats to remedy these problems. It's long past time that they come to the table and negotiate solutions.

Rep. Adam Smith@adamsmith.house.govNov 6(source)

SNAP benefits have been reduced, federal workers are going without pay, and health care premiums are skyrocketing for millions of Americans.

Rep. Adam Smith@adamsmith.house.govNov 6(source)

This shutdown fight is so important so Bridget, her husband, and their sons can be covered and afford to live their lives. I am holding the line for those in WA-09 who could see health care costs go through the roof.

Rep. Adam Smith@adamsmith.house.govNov 6(source)

Bridget from Bellevue just got notice that her family’s health care insurance is expected to skyrocket by 50%. Families in our country cannot afford to see premiums jump by $19,000 a year.

Rep. Adam Smith@adamsmith.house.govNov 5(source)

November 1 has passed -- what does that mean for the health care premiums? When do the high health care premium prices go into effect? I walk through the timeline and what could still happen.

Rep. Adam Smith@adamsmith.house.govNov 5(source)

Donald Trump’s refusal to fully fund critical food assistance is putting more than 880,000 Washingtonians at risk of going hungry. The funds are there. It’s time to restore all SNAP benefits.

We have now entered the longest shutdown in American history, orchestrated by Mike Johnson and House Republicans. Come back to work for your constituents and end this health care crisis.

Rep. Adam Smith@adamsmith.house.govNov 5(source)

I commend Governor Ferguson's commitment to deliver SNAP benefits to the 880,000+ beneficiaries in Washington state in full. The President is weaponizing hunger and withholding funds that could put food on empty plates.

This morning, we received guidance from the federal government on how to administer partial SNAP benefits. That guidance indicates SNAP recipients will get 50% of their usual benefits. Despite the president's callous social media statement this morning, we're proceeding full steam ahead...

Rep. Adam Smith@adamsmith.house.govNov 5(source)

The Republicans have now led us into the longest government shutdown in our nation’s history, decimating food assistance and health care access for millions. 36 days in and they refuse to negotiate in the best interest of their constituents.
