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.
Mariannette Miller-Meeks 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 her constituents, Miller-Meeks is trying to talk her way out of it. This new CBO report makes clear she will not be able to.
DCCC Spokesperson Viet Shelton:
“No more worthless claims from fake moderates like Mariannette Miller-Meeks about protecting Medicaid. If she really wanted to save Medicaid, Miller-Meeks had the opportunity to vote ‘NO’ on the extreme GOP budget – twice – but refused. This new CBO report proves her words are meaningless.”
