NETWORK opposes H.Con.Res. 14, the Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2025. This resolution sets in motion a bill that, if passed, will cut $230 Billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance program to pay for 7 trillion tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy and corporations. NETWORK opposes H.R. 1 because it enriches the wealthy at the expense of working families. NETWORK opposes the House Continuing Resolution because it fails to remedy the expiration of the ACA enhanced premium tax credit before the beginning of ACA open enrollment, Nov. 1. This will lead to 5 million Americans losing healthcare coverage.
