Two years ago, every single House Republican – including Brian Fitzpatrick – voted against the Inflation Reduction Act and the expansion of the ACA subsidies that kept health care costs down.
If Fitzpatrick and House Republicans had their way, they would let these subsidies expire and raise health care costs on roughly 20 million Americans – including roughly 27,000 people in Pennsylvania’s 1st Congressional District.
Without the ACA subsidies, enrollees in Northeast Pennsylvania will pay roughly $3,020 more for health care, and approximately 3.4 million people would lose their health insurance nationwide.
Brian Fitzpatrick and House Republicans have proposed numerous measures to raise health care costs, including raising the price of prescription drugs for 3.3 million people and privatizing Medicare.
DCCC Spokesperson Aidan Johnson:
“Brian Fitzpatrick has not only failed to lower health care costs for Pennsylvanians, but threatens to raise costs even further. Voters can see that Fitzpatrick and House Republicans refuse to lift a finger to help them on pocketbook issues, and know they can never be trusted to deliver much-needed relief for Pennsylvanians.”
