| New analysis shows that more than 61,000 people in California’s 22nd Congressional District are estimated to lose health coverage when Affordable Care Act premium tax credits expire at the end of this year — thanks to David Valadao’s support for the Big, Ugly Law.
As Valadao and House Republicans face a looming deadline to extend the ACA tax credits, which have helped millions of Americans afford their health care, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projects the number of uninsured nationwide will increase by at least 14.2 million people by 2034 as a result of the expiring tax credits and the Big, Ugly Law. That includes 1.7 million Californians, the highest of any state.
Valadao’s vote undermines over a decade of progress expanding access to care, pushing Valley families, hospitals, and entire communities to the breaking point.
DCCC Spokesperson Anna Elsasser:
“David Valadao voted to leave more Californians uninsured than any other state. He’s choosing politics over people and putting Valley families, hospitals, and communities on the brink. The Central Valley deserves a fighter—not a sellout to billionaires.” |
