BREAKING from Axios: “GOP weighs health care cuts to pay for Iran war.” Paging Brad Finstad.

Brad Finstad and House Republicans are scheming to pay for a reckless war of choice in Iran – which is reportedly going to cost American taxpayers another $200 billion so far – by further cutting health care from hardworking American families.
Last year, Finstad voted for the largest cut to Medicaid and food assistance in American history to fund massive tax breaks for billionaires. Hospitals, nursing homes and community-based health clinics across the country are closing because of this law. At the same time, Finstad failed to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, forcing Minnesotans to choose between higher premium costs or losing insurance altogether.

DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith:
“Brad Finstad gutted health care for Minnesotans to deliver massive tax breaks for Washington special interests and billionaires – and now, he’s developing a plan to further cut health care to pay for a war overseas. Minnesotans are hurting and deserve better than Finstad’s failed leadership.”
