Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan, who represents Virginia’s 4th district in the U.S. Congress, used her social media platform this week to address concerns about the state of the nation’s health care system and actions taken by Republican lawmakers.
On October 16, 2025, McClellan posted, “Republican actions have placed our health care system in crisis. It’s about to get worse — because Republicans shut down the government rather than address looming ACA insurance premium hikes when enhanced tax credits expire.
I hosted a roundtable with @ProtectOurCare Virginia https://t.co/7NXTybdiRH“.

The next day, on October 17, 2025, McClellan shared another link without additional comment: “https://t.co/LjJ993TRNQ”.
