House to Vote on Budget Resolution, Setting the Stage for Tax and Medicaid Legislation

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

The House plans to vote on its fiscal year 2018 Budget Resolution on Wednesday, October 4.

Please review the summary of the House Budget Resolution, which includes plans to “reform” Medicaid, cut spending, and enact tax reform.

Passage of the House resolution (H.Con.Res.71) would set up a conference with the Senate on its budget blueprint. The House and Senate could quickly adopt a joint budget resolution to pave the way for legislation that can be passed by a simple majority (51) vote in the Senate.

Please contact your representatives today and tell them you OPPOSE the House Budget Resolution.

Health Care – Attend an Upcoming Town Hall Meeting

The Republican leadership is rushing a health plan through Congress that will repeal the Affordable Care Act and jeopardize health insurance for more than 230,000 West Virginians.

West Virginians want answers about what the proposed health plan will mean for them. They are asking their Congressional Delegation to come home and give them answers.

Senators Manchin and Capito have been invited to attend the following town hall meetings. Representatives Mooney, Jenkins and McKinley have been asked to meet with constituents in their districts.

If you care about your health care, please attend one or more of these town hall meetings and make your voice heard.
