| For six straight weeks, Nick Begich has refused to address the health care crisis he created.
As millions of Americans begin shopping for health care tomorrow during the start of open enrollment, Alaskans will log on and see higher health care premiums because Begich would rather be on vacation than working to find a bipartisan solution to his health care crisis.
Because Begich and Republicans refuse to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, 23,000 Alaskans will face, on average, more than double the cost next year – forcing many to abandon their health coverage altogether. This is despite the overwhelming majority of Americans who support Congress extending the ACA tax credits.
Yesterday, the DCCC released a new digital ad in Alaska to hold Begich accountable for his refusal to take action and failure to lower costs.
DCCC Spokesperson Anna Elsasser:
“Nick Begich is failing Alaskans. Open enrollment begins tomorrow, but Begich is on vacation and millions of Americans will face higher costs – or be forced to go without health care – because he wants to shut the government down. Begich will lose his seat next year because of this cruelty.” |
