The IRA has created more than 334,000 jobs nationwide and lowered costs for millions of families since 2022
Two years ago, the Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law thanks to House Democrats.
Every single House Republican – including Brian Fitzpatrick – voted against this landmark legislation.
The historic legislation has delivered working families across the country by cutting costs, creating jobs, and investing in American manufacturing. The Inflation Reduction Act has:
-
Saved families an average of $300 a year on energy costs.
-
Created more than 334,000 jobs – including 2,881 jobs in Pennsylvania – and is projected to create more than 1.5 million jobs nationwide by 2030.
-
Capped the cost of insulin at $35 a month for Medicare recipients, saving 66,000 people in PA-01 $520 per year.
-
Capped prescription drug costs for Medicare recipients at $2,000 per year (starting in 2025). More 18 million seniors will save an average of $400 a year, 1.8 million of which could save as much as $2,500 a year.
-
Kept the health care industry from raising costs on 27,000 people in PA-01 who rely on the Affordable Care Act, saving them $3,020 per year.
Fitzpatrick and House Republicans have voted 42 times to repeal the job creating investments in the Inflation Reduction Act.
DCCC Spokesperson Aidan Johnson:
“Brian Fitzpatrick’s vote against the Inflation Reduction Act is just one example of why Pennsylvanians cannot trust him to support common sense legislation that lowers costs, creates jobs, and grows the middle class – and is why Pennsylvanians will elect new representation in November.”
