As Democrats, we just made clear we'll work together with our Republican colleagues, sit down, talk about the things that need to happen for the American people anytime, any place. We repeatedly made that clear. But we also made clear We were not going to support a partisan spending bill that continued to gut the health care of the American people and failed to extend the Affordable Care act tax credits. when tens of millions of Americans are now about to experience dramatically increased health insurance premiums.
