BY THE NUMBERS: New Analysis Finds Miller-Meeks, Hinson, Nunn’s Medicaid Cuts Will Kick Nearly 94,000 Iowans Off Their Health Insurance

Last week, Mariannette Miller-Meeks, Ashley Hinson, and Zach Nunn voted to slash Medicaid and force Iowans to foot the bill for tax cuts for the ultra-rich.

What exactly does that mean for Iowa?

According to new analysis based on the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) data, the cuts Miller-Meeks, Hinson, and Nunn championed will lead to:

  • 93,684 total Iowans losing health insurance coverage. That means…
    • 21,554 people in IA-01.
    • 23,529 people in IA-02.
    • 24,027 people in IA-03.
  • 58,084 total Iowans losing health insurance coverage provided by Medicaid. That means..
    • 12,954 people in IA-01.
    • 14,329 people in IA-02.
    • 15,127 people in IA-03.
  • 35,600 total Iowans 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 IA-01.
    • 9,200 people in IA-02.
    • 8,900 people in IA-03.

DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith:
“Numbers don’t lie: Mariannette Miller-Meeks, Ashley Hinson, and Zach Nunn voted to rip away health care from Iowans to give tax cuts to the ultra-rich, and Iowa voters will hold them accountable next November.”
