| On the sixteenth anniversary of the Affordable Care Act, hardworking Central Valley families are reeling from skyrocketing health care costs after David Valadao failed to prevent ACA tax credits from expiring.
Now premiums are higher and affordable options are shrinking, leaving many families in the Central Valley paying more each month or forgoing coverage entirely.
A majority of Americans blame Republicans for rising health care costs, and many families are already feeling the impact in their day to day lives. According to recent reporting, ACA enrollees are cutting back on basics like food and utilities just to keep up with their monthly health care costs.
REMINDER: Valadao cast a deciding vote on the largest cut to Medicaid in history – ripping away health care from over 68,000 of his constituents. He has voted at least 30 times to cripple, defund, or change the Affordable Care Act.
DCCC Spokesperson Anna Elsasser:
“Today’s anniversary is a reminder that David Valadao handed a massive health care tax hike to hardworking families across the Central Valley. By failing to extend the ACA tax credits, Valadao has effectively forced people to choose between paying for basic needs like rent or groceries or going to see a doctor. Californians are being priced out of their own care, and they’ll remember Valadao is responsible for these skyrocketing bills when they head to the polls in November.” |
