Horsford Statement on Continuing Resolution Vote

Statement

Date: Sept. 20, 2013
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Health Insurance Government Budget and Spending

Today, Representative Steven Horsford (NV-4) voted against the House Republican continuing resolution that continues deep sequester cuts and defunds critical health programs. Representative Horsford released the following statement regarding his vote:

"Not only does this irresponsible continuing resolution lock in deep and irresponsible sequester cuts, it also will raise Nevadans' health costs and deny them the health coverage they need.

"It's time for all parties to come together to find a way to stop sequester cuts and find a responsible compromise that funds our vital social programs. Nevadans cannot afford to be caught in the political games of the Tea Party. We cannot afford to continue lurching from fiscal crisis to fiscal crisis. We should work to reduce our deficits and debt in a fair and responsible way."
