Kat Cammack blames Dems, insurance companies for looming ‘short-term shutdown’

U.S. Rep. Kat Cammack says she doesn’t expect the federal government to be shut down for long if a spending deal isn’t struck by the end of the month.

But if the “short-term” pause happens, as it has many times over the years, she believes the opposition party is to blame.

“Democrats want to shut down the government so they can give $40 billion to insurance companies. That’s what this comes down to,” Cammack said on “Mornings with Maria.”

“They don’t want to put more money in people’s pockets? Of course not. Their agenda has always been about dependency and control, and so that what they want to do is subsidize insurance companies.”

At issue: Democrats want an extension of insurance subsidies, one in doubt since the passage of President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill. Republicans such as Cammack are considerably less enthusiastic. In her case, she is hearkening back to the Roman Empire for analogies for their alleged intransigence.

“They’ve already kind of crossed the Rubicon, so to speak, on this. So I anticipate we will see a government shutdown, but it’s simply because the Democrats want to subsidize their buddies in big insurance,” Cammack said.

Despite the current loggerheads, Cammack thinks Democrats will cave due to the strength of the executive branch in Washington in this “fight that the President is willing to have.”

“I think it would be a short-term shutdown because Democrats recognize that they’re not playing with the same old GOP of yesterday. This is Donald Trump’s America, and he is not scared to take the fight to every single media platform across the country and explain directly to the people what is really going on,” Cammack predicted.

“Legacy media no longer controls the narrative that Democrats are the heroes.”

Republicans, she added, are “going to take this fight on because we’re not going to continue to garnish the wages of our children by spending us into oblivion on top of the $37 trillion in debt that we currently have.”
