Mike Lawler just got caught lying (again), this time misleading New York voters about the devastating impacts of House Republicans’ tax scam. During a recent NPR interview, Lawler claimed that the GOP bill doesn’t include a “major cut” to Medicaid.
We hate to break it to you Mike, but that’s just not true.
FACT: According to recent analysis, the GOP tax scam would lead to nearly 1.5 million New Yorkers losing Medicaid coverage and becoming uninsured.
Lawler also failed to mention that this bill would force nearly $500 billion in cuts to Medicare too.
Not exactly what Donald Trump meant when he told House Republicans not to “fuck around with Medicaid” yesterday, is it…
DCCC Spokesperson Riya Vashi:
“Mike Lawler can try to spin this any way he wants, but the facts speak for themselves: the tax scam he’s defending would slash Medicaid in order to fund trillions in tax breaks for the rich — slapping the millions of New Yorkers who rely on this critical program square in the face.”
