NEW: Kevin Coughlin Confirms He’d Vote For GOP Tax Scam That Guts Medicaid to Fund Tax Breaks for Billionaires

If his long record of support for cutting Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security didn’t make it clear, Kevin Coughlin just officially confirmed: he’d vote YES for the GOP tax scam that guts Medicaid and raises costs for middle class Ohioans to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

Coughlin supports the plan that:

  • Jeopardizes health care coverage for tens of thousands of people across OH-13.
  • Endangers Northeast Ohio’s economy and the 30,000 jobs across hospital systems – the district’s largest employer – like Aultman, Summa, and Mercy Medical, that depend on Medicaid payments to operate.
  • Risks food assistance for the more than 45,500 OH-13 households (over 44% of which have children) that depend on the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP).
  • Will cause the poorest 10% of Americans to see their household resources reduced, while the richest will see their resources increase.

 

DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith:
“Proven loser Kevin Coughlin would vote to kick Ohioans off their health care, take food off their tables, and raise their costs – all so he could fund tax breaks for his billionaire buddies. Northeastern Ohioans already rejected his dangerous agenda once, and they’ll do it again next November.”
