Derrick Van Orden Will Raise Health Care Costs for 33,000 People in WI-03 if He Has His Way

Two years ago, Derrick Van Orden opposed the Inflation Reduction Act and the expansion of the ACA subsidies that kept health care costs down.

If Derrick Van Orden had his way, he would let these subsidies expire and raise health care costs on an estimated 33,000 people in Wisconsin’s Third Congressional District.

Without the ACA subsidies, enrollees in WI-03 will pay roughly $1,110 more for health care, and approximately 3.4 million people would lose their health insurance nationwide.

Derrick Van Orden and DC politicians have proposed numerous measures to raise health care costs, including raising the price of prescription drugs for 3.3 million people and privatizing Medicare.

DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
“Derrick Van Orden has not only failed to lower health care costs for Wisconsinites, but threatens to raise costs even further. Voters can see that Derrick Van Orden refuses to lift a finger to help them on pocketbook issues, and know he can never be trusted to deliver much-needed relief for Wisconsinites.”
