Nick LaLota Votes to Rip Away Health Care Access and Take Food Off of Long Islanders’ Tables

LaLota’s vote takes away health care coverage and food assistance from working parents, kids, seniors, and people with disabilities in Suffolk County

Nick LaLota and House Republicans just passed a far-right budget resolution that will rip away health care coverage and affordable food for millions of American families, all so they can fund massive tax breaks for their billionaire backers and wealthy corporations.

In NY-01 alone, this dangerous vote risks health care coverage for 64,000 people and food assistance for nearly 18,000 households.

Despite the loud outcry of Americans across the country warning House Republicans like Nick LaLota to vote against decimating Medicaid and threatening their livelihoods, LaLota still voted to pass this destructive budget scam, once again choosing his D.C. party bosses and billionaires over Long Islanders.

The DCCC will hold Nick LaLota accountable for his support of this dangerous agenda to rip away health care and food access from Suffolk County families.

DCCC Spokesperson Ellie Dougherty:
“Nick LaLota just sealed his political fate by inflicting this massive pain on Suffolk County families, and no amount of his desperate lies will save him from the political fallout of this vote.”
