Washington, D.C. – Today, Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) voted against the Senate's dirty funding ‘deal’ that does nothing to lower health care costs but includes millions in taxpayer-funded payouts to Senate Republicans.

“For coverage starting January 1, your first payment is due in December. If you have a chronic illness, you have cancer, you have a child coming, you will pay in December, not in January.”
