WASHINGTON, D.C – As the government enters the fourth week of the shutdown, Democrats have voted 12 times against reopening. Their continued obstruction is keeping the government shut down and harming Americans across the country. Under Joe Biden, Democrats voted 13 times to pass continuing resolutions to keep the government open. Brent Gardner, Chief Government Affairs Officer of Americans for Prosperity said: Democrats had chances over and over again to support a clean funding bill that p...| Americans for Prosperity
It’s week four of Washington’s shutdown, and it’s not the politicians feeling the pain. It’s the American people. The Democrats’ refusal to do what’s right and pass a continuing resolution is keeping the government closed. The Republican-led House of Representatives passed a clean CR (which will keep government funding at current levels), but Senate Democrats continue to vote against it. And while media members might spend the whole day talking about the politics, the deal-making,...| Americans for Prosperity
Health care in America has major problems. You see it every day with skyrocketing insurance costs, no transparency, endless paperwork, and doctor burnout, while you’re stuck in the middle.

There’s a better way, and it’s called direct primary care. How DPC works DPC is a model where you pay your doctor directly, ...| Americans for Prosperity

Even though the pandemic is long over, Democrats — and some Republicans — in Congress want to keep spending like it’s an emergency. Their latest demand? Making the bloated Obamacare subsidy expansion permanent. Congress has been operating as if these costly subsidies are popular. The secret’s out, though; most Americans want them to expire as intended. Covid expansions meant to help the less fortunate are handouts to the already well-off. When Covid hit, Congress boosted Affordable Ca...| Americans for Prosperity
