Pelosi Statement on April Jobs Report

"April's jobs report shows the economy continues moving forward.  However, neither the economy nor America's families can afford the devastating health cost increases of Trumpcare.

"Instead of creating good-paying jobs for the American people, President Trump and the Republican Congress are cruelly trying to raise health costs on seniors and hard-working families.  In addition to the anguish it will create in families, Trumpcare will force cuts that would shutter rural hospitals and destroy 2 million jobs across the country.

"More than 100 days into the Trump Administration, we still have not seen a single job-creating bill from the President. Democrats believe we should focus every day on job creation and growing paychecks – for everyone, everywhere in our country.  We should be creating good paying jobs, rebuilding America's infrastructure and investing in the future of our communities.  Trumpcare is a prescription for sick and desperate families and a sick and desperate economy."
