On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

And the numbers just keep going up… Trump has made it clear: we have a president who can find more than $43.6 BILLION for war—but doesn’t care to find a way to make life more affordable for American families. This must end, and Senate Democrats won’t stop fighting until it does.

Through the end of August 2026, the House was in session for roughly 383 hours total. That’s an average of about 48 hours per month. Their average monthly floor time is well below the 80-hour monthly threshold the same Congress imposed on Medicaid recipients.
