![After months of DOGE-driven chaos, around 750,000 federal workers have been locked out of their jobs and 1.4 million more are forced to work without pay. As Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought threatens illegal firings and cancels funding for critical energy and infrastructure projects, Shuler raises the alarm on the risk this shutdown poses to the economy across industries, from the transportation and construction workforces to local and state governments.
In the letter, Shuler cautions that if the Affordable Care Act tax credits aren’t extended, some 22 million Americans will be forced to pay 114% more for their health care premiums, ultimately driving up health care costs for everyone—including the 179 million people with employer-based coverage—and leading to the loss of more than 100,000 health care jobs. “Anyone who cares about working people should want to explore ways to avoid these price hikes, this loss of health care and these job losses,” Shuler writes, reminding Trump, “it’s a crisis you can undo.”
The letter concludes, “[w]e implore you to meet with the leaders of the House and Senate to find a solution that funds the government, fixes the health care crisis, and puts working people first.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:23tjefyt2vhs2hqxeiooy4t4/bafkreia5h4smvfkh6scpc26lmh2pthpzpkbddrpwv57lco3otd6fax7mra@jpeg)
