With Republican Health Care Crisis Looming – New Data Finds House GOP on Wrong Side of Key Issue

New AP-NORC polling revealed that 6 in 10 Americans are “extremely” or “very” concerned about health care costs rising next year. Thanks to House Republicans, the public has good reason to be.

The GOP-manufactured health care crisis will skyrocket costs for millions of hardworking families and decimate critical health infrastructure including medical research, and threaten to shutter rural hospitals, nursing homes, and community health care centers. Starting next month, millions of additional hardworking Americans will receive a new sticker shock because of Republicans: double digit price hikes in health care premiums.

The AP-NORC poll also showed that the public knows who they can trust, and who they will hold accountable for rising health care costs. A plurality (4 in 10) of Americans trust Democrats to do a better job handling health care, while only one-quarter trust Republicans on the issue.

DCCC Spokesperson Viet Shelton:
“The American people want relief from rising medical costs, they know that Republicans have failed them, and it’s clear that only Democrats are fighting to save their health care. The longer Republicans refuse to do anything to help working families, the more voters will hold them accountable for skyrocketing health care costs, ultimately rejecting them in 2026.”
