After creating a health care crisis leaving Michiganders at risk of losing access to lifesaving care, Tom Barrett voted to pass a disastrous health care ‘plan’ that even his Republican colleague called “ milquetoast garbage.”
Barrett’s 11th hour health care scheme will push junk insurance plans, undermine protections for people with preexisting conditions, make health care more expensive, and leave millions of Americans without health insurance because they are letting critical ACA tax credits expire – causing premiums to skyrocket.
REMINDER: Barrett said the ACA tax credits “are not real tax credits.” He OPPOSED extending the tax credits and is to blame for the 23,000 people in MI-07 who will pay 61% more for their health insurance premiums without these tax credits.
DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith:
“Tom Barrett can’t seem to stop voting to raise costs on Michiganders. Barrett’s latest ‘plan’ is nothing more than a smokescreen for his long record of gutting health care and making life more expensive for Michigan families – all while undermining protections for preexisting conditions and doing nothing to address the skyrocketing health insurance costs Michiganders are set to face in just two weeks. Barrett’s record of destroying health care will be a defining issue of his race, and voters will hold him accountable when they fire him next year.”
