Tom Kean Jr. and Trump’s Project 2025 Will Raise Health Care Costs for Working Families and Seniors

By backing Donald Trump, Kean Jr. is embracing his far-right agenda

Tom Kean Jr. and Trump’s Project 2025 is an extreme manifesto that would have far-reaching consequences if House Republicans and Trump were to win in November.

Kean Jr.’s Project 2025 would raise health care costs and threaten access to care for hardworking American families by: 

• Raising costs for 3.3 million people nationwide on Medicare by eliminating the Inflation Reduction Act caps on prescription drugs – including the $35 per month cap on insulin.

• Forcing more than 13 million Americans to pay more for their health care insurance by raising premiums.

• Raising costs on workers by putting a new tax on health insurance for millions who get insurance through their employer.

• Limiting benefits for disabled veterans by allowing fewer health conditions to qualify for disability benefits.

These far reaching Project 2025 proposals are deeply unpopular with voters – a large majority of voters oppose the agenda as they learn more about it.

DCCC Spokesperson Aidan Johnson:
“Tom Kean Jr. has failed to lower costs for families for the past two years – which is bad enough. Now, because Donald Trump wants him to, Kean Jr. is pledging to raise health care costs for families. This is exactly the kind of extremism that has turned voters off of Tom Kean Jr., the House GOP, and Trump’s Project 2025 agenda, and it’s why New Jerseyans will retire Kean Jr. in November.”
