As the cost of living continues to rise and be the top issue on voters’ minds, Gabe Evans 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 Coloradans 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 225,000 Coloradans who depend on either Medicaid or Affordable Care Act tax credits for their coverage. The bill could also force six rural hospitals to close in Colorado, leading to increased costs for families across the state, regardless of insurance.
And yet Evans cast the deciding vote on this price-spiking abomination.
DCCC Spokesperson Lindsay Reilly:
“Gabe Evans is desperately failing to uphold his promise to lower the cost of living – instead, making it his mission to give tax breaks to huge corporations and billionaires by making the largest cut to health care and food assistance in American history.” |
