Statement of Rahna Epting Executive Director of MoveOn on the reconciliation package
By MoveOn. Thursday, July 28 2022
“Wow. This is a historic piece of legislation. Lowering the cost of prescription drugs, expanding health care, making massive corporations pay more of their fair share, and the largest-ever investment in fighting the climate crisis. Any one of those alone would be a big deal. Taken together this is a once in a generation opportunity to significantly address so many of our urgent crises. And the benefits will be felt by millions of Americans immediately, and hundreds of millions of Americans for years to come.
“After more than a year of drama around this legislation, the Senate and House should take this historic legislation up without delay and get it over the finish line.”
