Two years ago, every single House Republican voted against the Inflation Reduction Act and the expansion of the ACA subsidies that kept health care costs down.
If Lori Chavez-DeRemer and House Republicans had their way, they would let these subsidies expire and raise health care costs on roughly 20 million Americans – including roughly 29,000 people in OR-05.
Without the ACA subsidies, enrollees in OR-05 will pay roughly $1,110 more for health care, and approximately 3.4 million people would lose their health insurance nationwide.
Lori Chavez-DeRemer and House Republicans have proposed numerous measures to raise health care costs, including raising the price of prescription drugs for 3.3 million people and privatizing Medicare.
DCCC Spokesperson Dan Gottlieb:
“Lori Chavez-DeRemer has not only failed to lower health care costs for Oregonians, but threatens to raise costs even further. Voters can see that Chavez-DeRemer and House Republicans refuse to lift a finger to help them on pocketbook issues, and know they can never be trusted to deliver much-needed relief for Oregonians.”
