In response to the Congressional Budget Office confirming the deeply destructive nature of the House Republican Repeal and Ripoff bill that Representative MacArthur voted for, DCCC Spokesman Evan Lukaske issued the following statement:
“There is no issue more personal than healthcare and Representative MacArthur led the effort to take it away from millions of Americans. The Congressional Budget Office’s analysis confirms again that the House Republican repeal bill increases your premiums and deductibles, tosses tens of millions of Americans off their insurance, slaps folks over 50 with an age tax, and destroys protections for people with preexisting conditions. This morally bankrupt bill will cause incredible pain for hardworking Americans, and that’s why its passage will haunt MacArthur through Election Day.”
