Government Shutdown and Health Care Impact

On October 1, the federal government shut down because Republicans would not agree to legislation that kept government open while lowering health care costs by extending the Affordable Care Act's tax credits. Nearly 100,000 of my constituents rely on the Affordable Care Act's tax credits to pay for their health care. If you'd like to share your story with me about how the loss of these tax credits will impact you and your family, I encourage you to submit your story below.
