TRANSCRIPT: Hi, this is Gwen Moore. Your Congresswoman and I’m here today on September 30th trying to prevent a shutdown of the government. We’re trying to get Republicans to do the right thing with regard to your health care. And no matter who you are whether you’re the poorest of the poor or the richest of the rich. Your health care premiums are gonna go up. And if you’re that middle class family, who has a job and you’re getting your insurance through your employer or through the Affordable Care Act and say you’re paying $250 a month your health care premiums could go up by say 75 percent, adding another $187 to your premium. Americans are already suffering under this Administration’s inflationary tactics and policies.

They’re paying extra money because of the tariffs. We already know that the rent is too damn high. And on top of that, you’re going to be paying more for health care premiums. Republicans, do the right thing. Keep the government open and help people keep their lifesaving health insurance.
