Fedorchak, Cramer, and Hoeven would rather shut down the government than prevent your healthcare costs from skyrocketing

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
September 29, 2025

FARGO – House Members return today from their September recess as the United States is on the precipice of a government shutdown. This summer, Rep. Fedorchak, Sen. Cramer, and Sen. Hoeven joined other Congressional Republicans to pass the largest cut to health care in U.S. history, under which at least 18,000 North Dakotans will be kicked off their health insurance. They also failed to extend Affordable Care Act premium tax credits in their “One Big, Beautiful Bill Act.”

North Dakota Democratic–NPL Chair Adam Goldwyn said, “If Congress doesn’t act, 35,000 North Dakotans will see their health care premiums skyrocket. That’s more than the population of Williston. On top of that, 18,000 North Dakotans are set to lose health coverage because of the Big Budget Bill. Democrats are trying to prevent a massive health care crisis for thousands of North Dakotans. Fedorchak, Cramer, and Hoeven would rather more North Dakotans than the population of Minot have their health care costs skyrocket or lose coverage completely than they’re willing to stand against Washington fat cats. We need real leaders right now, not spineless jellyfish.”
