Tom Barrett Votes to Rip Away Health Care Access and Take Food Off of Michiganders’ Tables

Barrett’s vote takes away health care coverage and food assistance from working parents, kids, seniors, and people with disabilities in Michigan

Tom Barrett and House Republicans just passed a far-right budget resolution that will rip away health care coverage and affordable food for millions of American families, all so they can fund massive tax breaks for their billionaire backers and wealthy corporations. 

In MI-07 alone, this dangerous vote risks health care coverage for 63,000 people and food assistance for more than 30,000 households. 

Despite the loud outcry of people in MI-07 warning Barrett to vote against decimating Medicaid and threatening their livelihoods, Barrett still voted to pass this destructive budget scam, once again choosing his D.C. party bosses and billionaires over Michiganders.

The DCCC will hold Barrett accountable for his support of this dangerous agenda to rip away health care and food access from Michigan families. 

DCCC Spokesperson Viet Shelton:
“Tom Barrett just sealed his political fate by inflicting this massive pain on Michigan families, and no amount of his desperate lies will save him from the political fallout of this vote.”
