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.
Young Kim 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, Young Kim is trying to talk her way out of it. This new CBO report makes clear she will not be able to.
DCCC Spokesperson Justin Chermol:
“No more bullshit letters or cable news appearances from fake moderates like Young Kim. If she really wanted to save Medicaid, Kim had the opportunity to vote ‘NO’ on the extreme GOP budget – twice – but refused. This new CBO report proves her words are meaningless.”
