DPCC Co-Chair Dingell: The American People Need Lower Health Care Costs and Stronger Infrastructure Now
WASHINGTON, DC – Congresswoman Debbie Dingell, Co-Chair of the House Democratic Policy and Communications Committee (DPCC), appeared on Outnumbered Overtime on FOX News to blast President Trump for playing political games while America's infrastructure continues to crumble and health care costs continue to skyrocket. Dingell affirmed House Democrats will continue to fight For the People to lower health care costs, rebuild America's infrastructure, and take on corruption in Washington.

"What really disturbs me is that we can't do anything between now and next November. The American people are really worried. You mentioned health care. It doesn't matter when I'm home, the first thing everybody is talking about is how much their medicine costs. There was an article in the Michigan paper, last week, that talked about even if we get us the funding, it's going to take us 100 years to fix our broken infrastructure. So I'm sort of stunned and speechless. Obviously I'm still talking about what happened today. But deeply, deeply, disturbed because we're not doing anybody a favor with this happening. So, we got to get it figured out. The President, if he wants to put these investigations to aside, he's got to stop feeding the fires by refusing to have anybody come up and appear before Committees."
"I've been somebody that's strongly supportive of where Nancy Pelosi has been. I think a divided impeachment would tear this country apart . . . We don't need a divided country when it comes to impeachment. But the President needs to stop putting kerosene on this fire. Democrats won't have any choice but to move forward. Because we're not in any shape to work together. And the American people need us to work together on issues that matter to them every day."
"All the Republicans have to be watching what's happening now. And I think most of the people I serve with know that we have a fundamental responsibility to protect our Constitution. So we're going to have to see how this goes. But stonewalling and saying you're not going to get anything done until next November, is not okay."
"When I said President Trump could win two years ago, it was because people said a pox on both houses, and they thought he would shake things up and get things done. But if he doesn't get things done, he's not living up to why people voted for him. They want to see us get things done."
