Senator Hassan Statement on Federal Government Shutdown

WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan (D-NH) today issued the following statement after voting for a proposal to keep the federal government open and protect access to health care:

"The American people want to be able to afford health care and they want to keep the federal government open. I voted today for a bill that would have done both. Unfortunately, President Trump and Congressional Republicans refused to work across the aisle and instead chose to shut the government down. I urge leaders on both sides of the aisle, including President Trump, to come to the negotiating table and reach an agreement to protect health care and keep the government open."
