Don Bacon Will Raise Health Care Costs for 34,000 People in NE-02 if He Has His Way

Two years ago, Don Bacon sided with his party to vote against the Inflation Reduction Act and the expansion of the ACA subsidies that kept health care costs down.

If Bacon and his party had their way, they would let these subsidies expire and raise health care costs on an estimated 34,000 people in Nebraska’s Second Congressional District.

Without the ACA subsidies, enrollees in NE-02 will pay roughly $1,080 more for health care, and approximately 3.4 million people would lose their health insurance nationwide.

This comes as no surprise after Bacon fell in line with Donald Trump and said “hell yes” to repealing the Affordable Care Act. Since then, Don Bacon and MAGA Republicans 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:
“Don Bacon has not only failed to lower health care costs for Nebraskans, but threatens to raise costs even further. Bacon will do anything to keep his seat in Washington – even when it means turning his back on Nebraskans and making it harder for them to get ahead.”
