Washington, D.C. – Today, Rep. Mike Thompson (CA-04) released the following statement in response to the Senate’s funding bill:

“The Senate’s bill is a bad deal for the American people,” said Thompson. “This bill fails to prevent Americans’ health care premiums from skyrocketing and it fails to reverse the President and Congressional Republicans’ devastating cuts to Medicaid. It also kicks the can down the road for our farmers, failing to deliver a Farm Bill 2.0 that serves our ag community’s needs. I cannot support this bill that fails the American people.

“Once again, I continue to call on Speaker Johnson to bring his party back to Washington to negotiate a bipartisan path forward that lowers costs and protects health care for hardworking Americans.”
