In a few days, you may be notified that your health insurance premiums will double, because of Republican cuts to health care. Democrats are fighting to change that before it's too late.

Republicans like to claim they aren't actually cutting Medicaid.

Which is an easily disproven lie.

Loved joining fellow Michigan Democrats in Grand Rapids last night. They are hard at work and fast underway, organizing to win based on our values and message of ensuring every level of government actually works for the people, delivering a better and more affordable everyday life for all.

“I wouldn’t be doing what I do unless I had hope for the future,” Buttigieg said. “We don’t have the luxury of pessimism or cynicism.”

Buttigieg: You’ve got a president and a Republican Congress who would rather see the entire government shut down than allow Americans to afford their healthcare.

The policy failures we’re living with didn’t begin with Donald Trump - and they very clearly won't end with him either.

My party has to offer a vision for how everyday life actually gets better under new and different leadership.

I'm seeing a misinformation campaign against Pete Buttigieg.

A bunch of accounts have been making false claims that Pete's campaign received money from AIPAC. That is NOT TRUE.

I could not find any record of this in the FEC filings.

I also asked ChatGPT to double check, and it found no evidence:

Republicans control every branch in Washington.

Now, Trump is openly giddy about using the shutdown to slash and burn federal resources that working Americans count on.

His shutdown, and firings, will hurt people in every part of this country.

Pete Buttigieg: We have to decide what our health care policy is and yeah, part of that is anti-Trump because Trump like ripping out Medicaid and making your premiums go up by getting rid of the Obamacare subsidies makes health care more expensive for you.

Buttigieg: The people who are cutting Medicaid right now say that they're not cutting Medicaid. They say, 'hey, all we're doing is making sure that you're eligible.' But what they're really doing is putting up so many pieces of red tape that a lot of people are gonna fall out

Buttigieg: We need a childcare policy where you can afford to have a kid and have paid family leave. That's not something you can throw up your hands and say, 'both sides are not doing anything.' Republicans have stopped paid family leave. Democrats are trying to get it done

Buttigieg: It was so incredibly frustrating the way airlines would treat passengers. We made sure you can get your money back if you get stuck and need a hotel. We started a process to get compensation if you had a delay. One thing I am really pissed about is that Trump's DOT is dismantling that
