Murphy: Saving Healthcare for Millions of Americans Is a Fight Worth Having

WASHINGTON—U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) on Tuesday gave a fiery speech on the floor of the U.S. Senate hammering the life-or-death stakes of Republicans’ refusal to negotiate with Democrats to end the government shutdown and protect access to health care for millions of Americans. With the ACA‘s open enrollment period beginning on November 1st, families across the country are facing catastrophic premium increases that will push many to simply forego health insurance altogether. Murphy urged his colleagues to keep up the fight and push for a solution to prevent millions of people from being thrown off a health care cliff.
