Rob Bresnahan’s “Medicaid Cuts Threaten Hundreds of Hospitals, New Report Finds” [NBC News]

• Bresnahan repeatedly said he opposed gutting Medicaid, but then cast a deciding vote to cut the program by roughly $1 trillion. Bresnahan even dumped up to $130K worth of Medicaid-provider stock just days before he voted for historic cuts.

Bresnahan voted to slash funding from Pennsylvania hospitals. 

• Bresnahan’s “Big Beautiful Bill” cuts $137 billion from rural hospitals and health clinics over 10 years – way more than the $50 billion so-called “Rural Health Fund” he is now touting. His vote could force rural hospitals across Pennsylvania to close their doors.

Bresnahan dumped up to $250K worth of Pennsylvania hospital bonds right before he voted for historic health care cuts. 

• The New York Times reported that Bresnahan – who campaigned on a promise to ban congressional stock trading – “sold off between $100,001 and $250,000 worth of bonds issued by the Allegheny County Hospital Development Authority,” which “came after a report identified 10 rural hospitals in Pennsylvania that faced immediate risk of closure.”

DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“Congressman Rob Bresnahan is a crooked, two-faced politician who has repeatedly shown he is willing to tell bald-faced lies to get elected. The truth is that Bresnahan voted to gut funding for Pennsylvania hospitals, spiked health care costs for his own constituents, and played the stock market while voting to unleash pain on his own community.”
