Boston — Governor Maura Healey issued the following statement today in response to the United States Senate passing Donald Trump’s budget bill:

“Congressional Republicans put their blind loyalty to Donald Trump over their constituents. They were elected to lower costs and strengthen our economy — but this bill does the opposite. It will take away health care for hundreds of thousands of Massachusetts residents and threatens closures of rural hospitals, nursing homes and community health centers. It will increase health care and energy costs for every person and business. And it will take away food from millions of families, children, veterans, seniors and people with disabilities. 

“Senate Republicans just voted to add $3.3 trillion to the national debt.

“I want the people of Massachusetts to know that your Governor and your elected officials care about you. We want you to have health care, we want you to have lower energy bills, we want you to be able to afford a home, we want you to have healthy food on the table, we want you to have the very best education and transportation systems possible. That’s what the budget I’m currently reviewing will do. That’s what we are working to do here in Massachusetts every day.”
