Washington, D.C. – Today, Rep. Mike Thompson (CA-04) issued the following statement in response to the passage of the government funding bill in the House of Representatives:
"The government funding bill passed tonight fails to stop health care premiums from skyrocketing, fails to undo the cruel cuts to Medicaid and SNAP in the Big, Ugly Law, and once again leaves our farmers and ranchers behind by punting on a new Farm Bill that actually meets their needs," said Thompson.
"I voted NO because I refuse to support a bill that fails the American people. I’ll keep fighting for all Americans, while Congressional Republicans continue to exacerbate the healthcare crisis and enable the President's ill-advised policies that are increasing costs across the board."
