Representing a swing district that backed Trump in 2024, Lee calls out Republican leadership for refusing to negotiate, citing looming healthcare premium hikes that could devastate working families.

In an interview with The Nevada Independent, Rep. Susie Lee (D-NV) said she has heard from numerous constituents whose premiums are doubling — or worse. She highlighted a single mom who takes home $50,000 per year and now pays $85 per month for insurance, but is expecting an eightfold increase to $700 without the tax credits.

“Republicans could open the government today if they wanted to,” Rep. Susie Lee (D-NV) said at a health care event on Thursday. She emphasized they have majority control of the federal government.

"We've got to work across the aisle, we have to come to a compromise. Let's give ourselves a year, you know, we're going to be up against a wall a year from now. Let's extend these, let's work for a year, get this figured out and come with a solution," Lee said.
