Today, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office confirmed that proposed Republican cuts to Medicaid would rip millions of working Americans off their health insurance, all to fund trillions in tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.
According to the CBO, different policy proposals backed by House Republicans – including the so-called moderates – would kick people off Medicaid, resulting in an increase in the number of uninsured Americans by millions.
Juan Ciscomani voted to greenlight an extreme budget blueprint that instructs the Energy & Commerce Committee to find $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid. Now facing backlash from his constituents, Juan Ciscomani is trying to talk his way out of it. This new CBO report makes clear he will not be able to.
DCCC Spokesperson Justin Chermol:
“No more bullshit letters or cable news appearances from fake moderates like Juan Ciscomani. If he really wanted to save Medicaid, Ciscomani had the opportunity to vote ‘NO’ on the extreme GOP budget – twice – but refused. This new CBO report proves his words are meaningless.”
