Begich Votes For Cost-Spiking Health Care ‘Plan’ That Hurts Working Alaskans

Begich’s ‘plan’ would RAISE health care costs by letting critical ACA tax credits expire

After creating a health care crisis leaving Alaskans at risk of losing access to lifesaving care, Nick Begich voted to pass a disastrous health care ‘plan’ that even his Republican colleague called “milquetoast garbage.

REMINDER: Begich’s 11th hour health care scheme will push junk insurance plans, undermine protections for people with preexisting conditions, make health care more expensive, and leave millions of Americans without health insurance because they are letting critical ACA tax credits expire – causing premiums to skyrocket.

DOUBLE REMINDER: Begich cast a deciding vote on the largest cut to Medicaid in history – ripping away health care from over 35,000 of his constituents.

DCCC Spokesperson Anna Elsasser:
“Nick Begich can’t seem to stop voting to raise costs on Alaskans. His latest ‘plan’ is nothing more than a smokescreen for his record of gutting health care and making life more expensive for the people of Alaska. Begich’s record of destroying health care will be a defining issue of his race, and voters will hold him accountable for his unpopular agenda.”
