• Resolution expressing concern over federal government shutdown and its impact on state and local governments.
• Highlights specific impacts on essential services (Medicaid, SNAP, healthcare, education, infrastructure, public safety) and workers (furloughs, unpaid work).
• Addresses a healthcare crisis related to federal Medicaid funding cuts ($900 billion) and the failure to extend ACA premium tax credits (potential 114% premium increase for 22 million people).

• Directs sending the resolution to San Francisco's federal and state representatives and the California Governor.

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors, led by Supervisors Walton, Mahmood, Fielder, Chan, and Chen, passed a resolution on November 4, 2025, reaffirming the San Francisco Labor Council's call for the federal government to be funded. The resolution details how federal shutdowns disrupt essential services (Medicaid, SNAP, healthcare, education, infrastructure, public safety) and strain local government budgets. It also highlights a healthcare crisis due to $900 billion in federal Medicaid cuts and the failure to extend Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium tax credits, potentially causing 114% premium increases for 22 million people.

A federal government shutdown could directly disrupt essential services like food assistance and healthcare, increase healthcare costs for millions, and strain local government budgets, potentially leading to cuts in public services.
