Demand Full Healthcare Funding Before Ending Government Shutdown

The ongoing government shutdown is causing significant harm to our nation, particularly in the realm of healthcare. I urge you to stand firm and refuse any agreement to end the shutdown unless full funding for healthcare programs is restored. The drastic cuts implemented by the current administration are part of a broader agenda to restructure our federal government under a dominant presidency, as outlined in the Project 2025 plan. These cuts are not only unpopular but also dangerous, especially those targeting essential healthcare services. We cannot allow the administration to use the shutdown as leverage to push through an extreme agenda that goes against the interests of the American people. The attempt to blame Democrats for this crisis is a transparent political maneuver that should not distract from the real issue at hand: the need to protect and fully fund our healthcare system. Moreover, the changes to Social Security disability claims and the warnings from former Department of Justice officials about the politicization of the DOJ are deeply concerning. These actions, coupled with the New York City Bar Association's criticism of the administration's foreign policy decisions, paint a picture of an administration willing to sacrifice the well-being of citizens for ideological gains. As your constituent, I implore you to prioritize the health and welfare of the American people. Stand strong in negotiations and insist on the full restoration of healthcare funding before agreeing to end the shutdown. Our nation's health and future depend on your resolve in this critical moment. The consequences of compromising on healthcare funding could be devastating for millions of Americans who rely on these essential services.
