| Major new reporting from NBC News today reveals that Congressman Rob Bresnahan “sold stock in several Medicaid providers before voting for cuts.”
They report that Bresnahan “offloaded up to $130,000 worth of stock in Centene, Elevance Health, UnitedHealth and CVS Health” just days before voting to cut Medicaid by roughly $1 trillion, and that “taken together, those four companies oversee roughly half of all Medicaid managed care organizations” in the entire country.
It’s just the latest in a string of headlines that expose how Bresnahan has “appeared to benefit from the consequences of his own votes” – including votes “that could end up harming his constituents.”
DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“Rob Bresnahan dumped up to six-figures worth of stock in companies that oversee roughly half of all Medicaid enrollees in the entire country. Then he turned around and voted for the largest cuts to Medicaid in history. It’s cruel, morally-bankrupt, and just plain wrong. Every new revelation further cements Bresnahan’s image as the poster-child of Washington corruption.”
