Mariannette Miller-Meeks Votes to Rip Away Health Care from Iowans

After hiding from voters for months and lying about her extreme plans, Mariannette Miller-Meeks did it. She cut Medicaid.

More specifically: Miller-Meeks, as a member of the Energy and Commerce Committee, delivered a key YES vote to advance the largest cut to Medicaid in history that would:

• Lead to tens of thousands of Iowans and millions of Americans losing health care.
• Slash $1.7 million in funding to Davenport’s Genesis Medical Center, located in IA-01, and threaten the closure of hospitals across Iowa.
• Levy a hidden tax on Medicaid enrollees

During committee debate, Miller-Meeks voted NO on amendments to protect Medicaid and lower prescription drug prices.

And she did all this despite the fact that recent polling shows more than three quarters of Americans – including a majority of Republicans – oppose cutting Medicaid.

DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith:
“Mariannette Miller-Meeks decided today that making Iowans pay for permanent tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy is more important than protecting their health care. Miller-Meeks’ vote put billionaires ahead of her constituents, and it will haunt her in 2026.”
