As the cost of living continues to rise and be the top issue on voters’ minds, Monica De La Cruz and House Republicans are working hard to raise health care costs on older Americans.
A new study from the Center for American Progress finds that the GOP Tax Scam would cost older Texans an average increase of at least $1,000 more in annual premiums to keep their current ACA marketplace plan.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates the House-version of the GOP Tax Scam would result in 16 million people uninsured nationwide 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, including 15 hospitals in Texas.
And yet Monica De La Cruz provided the critical vote for this price-spiking abomination.
DCCC Spokesperson Madison Andrus:
“Monica De La Cruz is desperately failing to uphold her campaign promise to lower the cost of living – instead, making it her mission to give tax breaks to huge corporations and billionaires by making the largest cut to health care and food assistance in American history.”
