Associated Press: Massachusetts delegation to Trump: Keep health subsidies

Massachusetts' all-Democratic congressional delegation is sending President Donald Trump a letter criticizing him for ending health care subsidies and warning him that tens of thousands of Massachusetts residents could see their premiums spike as a result.

U.S. Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Edward Markey and all nine representatives from Massachusetts signed the letter dated Tuesday.

The lawmakers included a copy of a letter Republican Gov. Charlie Baker sent them last week urging Congress to adopt a bipartisan approach like an agreement negotiated by Tennessee Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander and Washington Democratic Sen. Patty Murray.
