Damage Already Done: Kim Can’t Distance Herself from Vote to Gut Medicaid

As Senate Republicans rush through their version of the GOP Tax Scam, Young Kim is doing the same old song and dance, bluffing to take a stand, saying“A budget resolution that does not protect vital Medicaid services for the most vulnerable…will not receive my vote.”

Sound familiar? She said the same thing before — and she lied.

Let’s recap:

  • Kim promised Californians that any bill threatening “vital Medicaid services for the most vulnerable citizens in [her] community will not receive [her] vote,” and sent multiple letters expressing “concern” over Medicaid and clean energy cuts.
  • Then she cast the deciding vote on the bill – ripping away health care from over 31,000 people and gutting food assistance for nearly 15,000 households in her district.
  • Afterward? Full-blown damage control. More meaningless letters begging congressional leadership to clean up the mess she made.

Now, she’s claiming she won’t do it again. But even top House GOP aides forecast she will “roll over and vote” for the Big, Ugly Bill — too scared of D.C. party bosses to protect Californians’ health care.

DCCC Spokesperson Anna Elsasser
“Young Kim doesn’t fight for Californians — she sells out their health care, lies to their faces, then tries to cover her tracks. We all know the truth: when it’s crunch time, Kim caves. It’s gutless, it’s dishonest, and next November, it will cost her seat.”
