Later that day, at 19:04 UTC, she addressed concerns about expiring healthcare tax credits and ongoing political debates over healthcare spending. She stated, “We need a spending bill that won’t continue the GOP healthcare crisis. Critical healthcare tax credits Democrats passed into law expire soon.
