Costa’s Shutdown Leaves Seniors Waiting for Help

October 8, 2025

Today is Day 6 of Jim Costa’s government shutdown. Costa and other Democrats are actively hurting those that rely on Social Security and Medicare. With the government shut down, people can start to expect delays in critical resources they need for their health and wellness. 

It is shameful that Democrats are putting politics above the health and wellness of their constituents. By continuing to keep the government shut down, Democrats are hurting the most vulnerable amongst us.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
