After Months of Lying, Tom Kean Jr. Poised to Enact Massive Health Care Cuts

Late Sunday evening, Tom Kean Jr. and House Republicans on the Energy & Commerce Committee unveiled their bill to cut Medicaid and take health care away from millions of Americans in order to fund trillions in tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.

These proposed cuts come after Kean Jr. has spent months lying to his constituents that he would not touch Medicaid as part of the Tax Scam.

new report from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office found that at least 13.7 million more Americans would go uninsured if extreme House Republicans got their way. 

DCCC Spokesperson Justin Chermol:
“Enough with the empty rhetoric from so-called moderates like Tom Kean Jr. The latest bill makes it crystal clear: these extremists are targeting Medicaid, threatening essential health care and plotting to hike costs—all to bankroll massive tax handouts for billionaire donors like Elon Musk at the expense of middle-class families. The only question now is—will Kean Jr. cave to the extremists and sell out his constituents yet again?”
