De Blasio opposed the American Health Care Act (AHCA), which included a block grant system for Medicaid and flexibility on essential health benefits. He wrote, "If AHCA passes, 1 million New Yorkers could lose coverage. All to give rich folks a huge tax cut. Want to stop this disgraceful bill? Call your reps. Write them. Protest. Then do it again. Fight like lives are on the line. They are."

"I have a message for President Trump: Don't mess with your fellow New Yorkers. Dreamers are our neighbors, they are just as much New Yorkers as anybody else. They're human beings and deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. We will use every legal avenue to defend the rights of Dreamers. It's not acceptable for Congress to look away. They have to pass the DREAM Act and they have to pass it now."

Mayor de Blasio supported a policy that required large buildings to reduce fossil fuel emissions and become more energy efficient. He said, "New York will continue to step up and make critical changes to help protect our city and prevent the worst effects of climate change. We must shed our buildings' reliance on fossil fuels here and now. To do this, we are mandating upgrades to increase the energy efficiency of our buildings, helping us continue to honor the goals of the Paris Agreement. No matter what happens in Washington, we will not shirk our responsibility to act on climate in our own backyard."

"We also refuse to support a backwards industry any longer, so we're divesting $5 billion in our pensions from fossil fuels. We won't pay Big Oil for harming the earth anymore."

"I'm Mayor of the number-one terror target on the planet and I've spent years working with the NYPD, the FBI and the Joint Terrorism Task Force. The threats to our country aren't coming from the southern border and a racist wall won't keep our country safe."

"While the Trump administration and the Republican party is working overtime to take health care away from millions of Americans, in New York we are working to guarantee health care for all. Health care is a right, not a privilege."
