Governor Lamont Statement on Congressional Republicans’ Budget Bill [[link removed]]

Posted on May 22, 2025

(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Ned Lamont released the following statement on the Congressional Republicans’ budget bill:

“Last night, Congress showed how much they prioritize well-connected billionaires over middle-class families by slashing healthcare and food assistance for the most vulnerable. Congress should be working on a budget that strengthens our nation and lowers costs, but instead, the bill passed by House Republicans overnight does the exact opposite – it explodes the national debt and imposes deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance that will devastate millions of Americans, including thousands of Connecticut families.

“While claiming to ease the burden on working families, Washington Republicans are pushing a plan that does just the opposite – driving up out-of-pocket healthcare costs and threatening access to critical services. Their proposal puts hospitals and nursing homes in jeopardy and strips away food assistance from those who need it most, including children, seniors, and veterans, at a time when everyday Americans are already stretched thin.”
