Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick just gambled with Pennsylvanians’ Medicare and the American economy.
According to Moody’s Analytics and the Bipartisan Policy Center, Fitzpatrick’s dangerous and reckless “NO” vote on a framework to raise the debt limit could have immediate and urgent consequences, including:
-
Billions of dollars in impending Medicare cuts to hospitals, doctors, and other providers at the start of the year
-
Costing 6 million jobs
-
Surging unemployment to 9 percent
-
Delaying earned benefits like Social Security and Medicare
-
Jeopardizing our military servicemembers’ paychecks
-
Threatening the economic progress President Biden and House Democrats have made in pandemic recovery
DCCC Spokesperson James Singer
“Pennsylvanians don’t need someone willing to gamble our economy or their Medicare representing them, they need someone who will fight for their best interests. Brian Fitzpatrick owes families, seniors, and business owners an explanation for his reckless actions.”
