As the cost of living continues to rise and be the top issue on voters’ minds, David Schweikert, Eli Crane, Juan Ciscomani, and House Republicans are working hard to raise health care costs on older Americans.
A new study from the Center for American Progress finds that the GOP Tax Scam would cost older Arizonans an average increase of at least $1,200 in annual premiums to keep their current ACA marketplace plan.
Data from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office shows the House-version of the GOP Tax Scam would rip health care away from more than 342,000 Arizonans who depend on either Medicaid or Affordable Care Act tax credits for their coverage. The bill could also force five rural hospitals to close in Arizona, including three hospitals in Crane’s district.
And yet Schweikert, Crane, and Ciscomani all backed this price-spiking abomination.
DCCC Spokesperson Lindsay Reilly:
“David Schweikert, Eli Crane, and Juan Ciscomani are desperately failing to uphold their campaign promise to lower the cost of living – instead, making it their mission to give tax breaks to huge corporations and billionaires by making the largest cut to health care and food assistance in American history.” |
