| Breaking new reporting from The New York Times reveals that vulnerable Virginia Republican Congresswoman Jen Kiggans “once called for eliminating the Affordable Care Act.”Â
Kiggans said in her own words: “A couple of areas where I would like to see federal spending cut. Number one, I’d like to eliminate Obamacare.”
Now Kiggans is trying to cover her tracks by pretending to support a temporary extension of ACA tax credits. The truth? Kiggans wanted to “eliminate” the ACA entirely and has said “we don’t need these” tax credits. Because of Kiggans, hundreds of thousands of Virginians are set to see their health care costs skyrocket.
DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“Congresswoman Jen Kiggans is so extreme that she once called for fully eliminating the Affordable Care Act. Virginians simply can’t trust Kiggans to protect their health care, especially after she voted to gut Medicaid, shutter health clinics, put rural hospitals at risk of closure, and jack up premiums.” |
