Government Shutdown Vote

To: Sen. Kaine

From: A constituent in Virginia Beach, VA

November 10, 2025

Do not vote to end the shutdown without an extension to the ACA subsidies that are expiring. I read a news article that you were one of several Democrats to cave to the demands of Senate Republicans tonight and I am appalled that you would give up without a fight. It is my understanding that the "guarantee of a vote" for the ACA subsidies is just that, a vote. Without a guarantee of those subsidies, thousands will be unable to afford lifesaving services through the ACA. Affordable healthcare is a human right. Shame on you for folding. Shame on you for giving up the one piece of leverage you had in this negotiation.
