The consequences of David Schweikert, Eli Crane, and Juan Ciscomani’s choice to fund tax cuts for billionaires by cutting Arizonans’ health care are coming into sharp focus:
- Nearly 400,000 Arizonans who get their health care on the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace could see their premiums spike up to 55% next year.
- Hundreds of thousands of Arizonans could lose their health insurance, including more than 193,000 on Medicaid and more than 148,000 on the ACA.
- More than half of all Arizona hospitals will have to operate “in the red,” which could lead to restricted services “at best” and “at worst” hospital closures across the state.
- As more people forgo insurance and rely on emergency room visits, health care costs could skyrocket for everyone.
Schweikert, Crane, and Ciscomani could have stayed in Washington to prevent Arizonans from seeing up to 55% higher premiums next year – but they skipped town instead.
DCCC Spokesperson Lindsay Reilly:
“David Schweikert, Eli Crane, and Juan Ciscomani cut health care so billionaires could get a tax break. Now, hundreds of thousands of Arizonans are at risk of losing coverage, premiums are expected to jump 55%, and hospitals across the state could close. It’s clear Schweikert, Crane, and Ciscomani work for their D.C. party bosses, not for Arizonans.”
