George Miller for Congress

Tonight, my Democratic colleagues and I are voting "yes" to end the shutdown and avert default on our debts with no changes to the President's health care law. The measure will be signed into law. The 16-day shutdown is over. But it cost the American economy and the American people $24 billion - for nothing, just a GOP political agenda to attack Obama and try to stop Americans from getting health care. Shame. Shame. And more shame on the Republican Party. Democrats stood united against this reckless hostage scheme. Express your support here.

In the wake of the recent government shutdown, it is crucial to reflect on the impact of political maneuvering on the American people. The decision to end the standoff allowed for the continuation of essential services and preserved the Affordable Care Act, which many rely on for their health care needs. Yet, the cost of this shutdown—$24 billion—highlights the consequences of partisan politics. Moving forward, it is imperative that we unite to ensure our government functions without the threat of unnecessary crises.
