Does Mike Lawler Approve of Nearly 1.5 Million New Yorkers Losing Health Care Coverage?

House Republicans’ extreme bill would jeopardize health care “for millions of New Yorkers while imperiling the state’s hospitals and other healthcare providers.”

As Mike Lawler prepares to deliver another crucial vote for his party’s extreme plan that will cut Medicaid to pay for tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy, New Yorkers deserve to know:

Does Mike Lawler approve of nearly 1.5 million New Yorkers losing their health care? 

New analysis highlights what Republicans’ extreme plan would mean for New York, including…

  • Nearly 1.5 million New Yorkers losing their health care coverage and becoming uninsured.

  • Over $1.3 billion in losses felt by New York hospitals already struggling to keep their doors open.

  • A nearly $13.5 billion hit to New York’s economy and health care sector.

In NY-17 alone, the GOP budget would result in…

  • Nearly 26,000 New Yorkers losing health care coverage.

  • Over $32 million in losses to local hospitals serving the Hudson Valley.

  • Nearly $87 million in increased costs for the district.

DCCC Spokesperson Riya Vashi:
“Voters won’t forget that Mike Lawler put their health care on the chopping block and forced working class New Yorkers to pay for the ultra-wealthy’s tax breaks.”
