Liberals Hold Government Hostage, Threaten Pro-Patient HSA Reforms to Fund Healthcare for Illegal Aliens

Washington, D.C.—Today, the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) issued the following statement from Hannah Anderson, Director of Healthy America and Senior Director of Policy, regarding the ongoing government shutdown:

“Bad actors in Congress are proposing to reverse critical pro-patient reforms that expand Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) to Americans stuck with expensive Obamacare plans with average deductibles of $7,258 to $9,450. The Working Families Tax Cuts made these patients eligible for HSAs for the first time, giving them real tools to manage skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Instead of letting these commonsense reforms take effect, liberals are trying to push healthcare for illegal aliens, leaving American families stuck in limbo while Washington remains closed.”
