Last week, Tom Barrett and Bill Huizenga voted to slash Medicaid and force Michiganders to foot the bill for tax cuts for the ultra-rich.
What exactly does that mean for MI-07 and MI-04?
According to new analysis based on the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) data, the cuts Barrett and Huizenga championed will lead to:
- 47,947 total of their constituents losing health insurance coverage. That means…
- 21,528 people in MI-07.
- 26,419 people in MI-04.
- 28,847 total of their constituents losing health insurance coverage provided by Medicaid. That means…
- 12,928 people in MI-07.
- 15,919 people in MI-04.
- 19,100 total of their constituents losing health insurance coverage provided through the Affordable Care Act due to cuts to ACA enhanced premium tax credits. That means…
- 8,600 people in MI-07.
- 10,500 people in MI-04.
DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith:
“Numbers don’t lie: Tom Barrett and Bill Huizenga voted to rip away health care from Michiganders to give tax cuts to the ultra-rich, and Michigan voters will hold them accountable next November.”
