New data<\/a> reveal that over 267,000 veterans will see their health care premiums skyrocket if Donald Trump and Republicans refuse to extend the Affordable Care Act\u2019s enhanced premium tax credits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senate Majority Leader John Thune and House Speaker Mike Johnson are refusing<\/a> to pay military personnel and active duty troops during Trump\u2019s shutdown. Democrats have called<\/a> on Johnson and Thune to pass legislation to pay our troops during Trump\u2019s shutdown \u2014 but they would rather protect their billionaire tax breaks while military families pay the price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, DNC Deputy Rapid Response Director Jaelin O\u2019Halloran released the following statement: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDonald Trump has said<\/a> that \u2018America must never abandon our heroes in their hour of need\u2019 \u2014 and yet how does he repay them? With a one-two punch of gutting their health care and refusing to pay our troops. Trump, Johnson, and Thune would rather protect their billionaire tax cuts and screw over the brave men and women who have served this country \u2014 all because they refuse to support Democrats\u2019 common-sense plan to make health care affordable for tens of millions of Americans. Trump has never cared about our veterans, servicemembers, or their families because he knows nothing about service to anyone but himself.\u201d

Trump is no stranger to disrespecting our veterans \u2014 he has referred<\/a> to them as \u201csuckers\u201d and \u201closers,\u201d and fired<\/a> over 80,000 employees at the Department of Veterans Affairs as part of his crusade to \u201celiminate waste.\u201d While Democrats are prepared to pay our men and women in uniform and protect veterans\u2019 health care, Trump and Republicans refuse to return to work in D.C. and are keeping the government shut down to avoid fixing a health care crisis that will hike health care prices for millions of Americans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
