Rep. Keith Self, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, used his social media platform on October 2, 2025, to criticize current healthcare policies and comment on ongoing government funding debates.
In a post published at 16:59 UTC, Self stated, “Obamacare has failed Americans and Biden’s COVID-era subsidies only made the problem worse. The good news is that Congress has the power to end the fraud if we just let these subsidies EXPIRE on schedule.”
Later that day at 17:33 UTC, he continued his criticism of Democratic leadership regarding government operations by writing, “Day TWO of the Schumer Shutdown Democrats continue to put illegal aliens, insurance companies, and reckless spending over the American people.”
At 19:15 UTC on the same day, Self posted another message focused on healthcare for undocumented immigrants amid the shutdown discussions: “Rep. Keith Self: Dems Shutting Down Government Over Illegals Getting Healthcare”.
Keith Self has represented his district since winning elections in both 2022 and 2024 against Sandeep Srivastava. In 2024, Self secured victory with approximately 62.5% of the vote compared to Srivastava’s 37.6%. Two years earlier in 2022, he won with about 60.5% of votes versus Srivastava’s 36.9%.
These statements come as congressional debates over government funding continue and as disputes persist over federal healthcare policy and benefits for non-citizens.
