House Minority Whip Katherine Clark, Massachusetts Representative and the highest ranking woman in congress, joins me to discuss the government shutdown and how Republicans are attempting to pass a budget that hikes health care premiums and everyday costs strictly to fund tax cuts for billionaires. We also discuss misinformation surrounding the government shutdown, SNAP funding, and how the continuing health care crisis Republicans have created through Medicaid cuts earlier this year will uniquely impact women.
Just after we spoke on Wednesday, 11/12, Whip Clark joined Leader Hakeem Jeffries in offering an amendment to the Republican budget bill. The amendment would prevent massive premium hikes by extending ACA tax credits for three years.
