A new report estimates that Pennsylvania stands to lose a staggering $34.1B in health care spending due to House Republicans’ Tax Scam budget, legislation that could have been stopped had any of Pennsylvania’s Republican Congressmen – including Brian Fitzpatrick, Ryan Mackenzie, Rob Bresnahan, or Scott Perry – voted no.
Analysis conducted by the Urban Institute shows that Pennsylvania would be the 8th hardest hit state in overall health care spending cuts.
It has also been reported that Republicans’ Tax Scam could “push rural hospitals to the brink” across Pennsylvania, jeopardizing access to care for both individuals on Medicaid and those on private insurance and raising insurance costs for all Pennsylvanians.
DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“Pennsylvania Republicans Brian Fitzpatrick, Ryan Mackenzie, Rob Bresnahan, and Scott Perry all voted in lockstep with their party bosses to gut Medicaid in order to fund tax cuts for billionaires. Report after report shows that their vote will have devastating consequences for Pennsylvania families and hospitals – and voters will hold them accountable next November.”
