Everyday Americans already pay too much to see a doctor or visit the hospital.

The Republican healthcare crisis is making things worse.

You deserve better.

Donald Trump expected us to back down.

Democrats continue to stand up to protect healthcare for everyday Americans.

President Trump's destructive policies started day one of his term in office.

Social security recipients and federal workers have been burned time and time again by Trump and his billionaire buddies.

It is cruel.

All Americans should be able to see a doctor.

Health care is a great benefit offered by many companies, but if you are a:

✅ Small business owner
✅ Freelance writer or artist
✅ Early retiree
OR experience a period of time without a job

Republicans in Congress want to take away the main way you can afford health care.

I am saddened to hear of the passing of Jane Goodall. A tireless advocate for conservation, animal welfare, and youth education.

Our planet is better because of her work and contributions to science. Her legacy will be felt by people and animals alike for generations to come.

Take it from Philippa: She would be bankrupt without the Affordable Care Act helping her afford her cancer treatment.

How can President Trump and Congressional Republicans want to take that away?

Why do President Trump and Republicans think that 4.1 million Floridians should pay nearly double for their health care next year?

Big emphasis on managing the federal government as a shut down looms....

U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor @usrepkathycastor.bsky.social · 7d

If this is how you're finding out the government could shut down tonight, it is because Republicans in Congress do not want you to know.

They don't want to be further blamed for raising costs, ripping away health care and causing chaos.

U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor @usrepkathycastor.bsky.social · 7d

President Trump is going to shut down the government and inflict even more pain than he already has on American families by destroying your health care, your savings account and our democracy all to hide his name in the Epstein Files.

🚨🚨 4.1 million Floridians are about to pay more for their health coverage and Republicans in the Congress are no where to be found.

They are taking a wrench to your health care and celebrating by taking the week off.
