| Kentucky Republicans left town on Friday with no plans to return to D.C. before October, ditching any plans to address the health care crisis they created. KFF recently found that premiums could soar by more than 75% on average because of Republican’s inaction.
Everything is getting more expensive, thanks to Donald Trump and House Republicans.
But it’s not just groceries and coffee. If the ACA tax credits expire, health care costs could jump and millions could lose care just months after Republicans enacted the largest cut to Medicaid in American history.
New Joint Committee on Taxation data confirms the ACA tax credits overwhelmingly help working and middle-class families, with 24 million Americans at risk of seeing health care costs spike if Republicans fail to act.
DCCC Spokesperson Madison Andrus:
“Kentucky Republicans refused to address the looming health care crisis they created and, as a result, are skipping town. The DCCC will make sure Kentuckians know it was Republicans who had the chance to extend ACA tax credits — and chose not to.” |
