One week ago, Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Zach Nunn released a meaningless letter begging the Senate to scale back aggressive cuts to Medicaid and claiming they “won’t support” those cuts… just weeks after the two both voted to enact the largest cut to Medicaid in American history.
Jump to today, as the Senate just passed those even more aggressive cuts to Medicaid that will rip health care away from Iowans and risk hospital closures across rural communities – where are Miller-Meeks and Nunn?
Penning another diary entry where they pretend to care about Iowans losing their health care?
Nope – they’re publicly defending the Tax Scam that makes Medicaid cuts they claimed they couldn’t support and getting ready to cave to their party bosses and vote to pass the bill.
DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith:
“Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Zach Nunn both already voted for the largest cut to Medicaid in history. Now, after hiding behind a cowardly, meaningless letter, they’re about to cave to their D.C. party bosses again and vote for more health care cuts to give their billionaire donors another massive tax break.”
Reminder of the Medicaid cuts that Miller-Meeks and Nunn *already* voted for:
- Des Moines Register: Iowa Republicans vote for reconciliation bill that includes Medicaid, SNAP spending cuts
- The Gazette: Members of Iowa’s congressional delegation double down on Medicaid cuts in federal budget
- Iowa Starting Line: Miller-Meeks, Nunn vote to cut Medicaid and SNAP
- Iowa Capital Dispatch: D.C. Dispatch: Iowa’s U.S. representatives support bills that cut Medicaid and SNAP
- Des Moines Register: Congress passes budget bill with deep cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. What that means for Iowa
