Drug Company Shill Jim Bognet Supports McCarthy’s Efforts to Ban Abortion Nationwide, Gut Medicare & Social Security, and Raise Prescription Drug Costs on Seniors

GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy released a GOP agenda that bans abortion, cuts Social Security and Medicare, and caters to the pharmaceutical industry at the expense of seniors.

Corporate shill Jim Bognet is aligned with McCarthy and this corporate giveaway to the drug company executives supporting his campaign:

  • A $2.8 billion dollar tax cut to drug companies – as millions see higher health care prices and lose coverage.

  • Medicare would be unable to negotiate lower prescription drug prices for up to 7 million Americans.

  • An estimated 50 million seniors and people with disabilities could have to pay more than $2,000 per year in out-of-pocket pharmacy costs.

  • Eliminating the insulin price cap for Medicare beneficiaries could force 3.3 million people to pay more than $35 per month for insulin, missing out on more than $500 in annual savings.

James Singer, DCCC spokesperson:
“Jim Bognet would be a rubber stamp for this disastrous agenda to ban abortion, gut Social Security, cut Medicare, and raise prescription drug prices.”
