Young Kim and 15 of her fake moderate colleagues in the Republican Conference are out with yet another meaningless letter – this time begging the Senate to scale back aggressive cuts to Medicaid. Yet this comes just weeks after she voted to strip health care from over 31,000 people and gut food assistance for nearly 15,000 households in her district.
Kim is hoping the letter will save her from backlash over voting to gut health care for millions of Americans, as the Senate considers lowering the provider tax on states — a move that would cause even more people to lose coverage.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates the Kim-backed House-version of the GOP Tax Scam would result in 16 million people uninsured by gutting Medicaid and failing to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits. In addition, nearly 24 million people will see their monthly health care costs increase and over 300 rural hospitals could close.
DCCC Spokesperson Anna Elsasser:
“Enough with the meaningless letters. Kim already voted for the largest cut to Medicaid in American history – and when the time comes, she will cave to her D.C. party bosses once again to give her billionaire donors a massive tax break.”
