House Republicans Betray Their Constituents, Vote To Gut Health Care and Raise Grocery Costs

Following Senate Republicans’ lead, House Republicans voted today in favor of a tax and budget scheme that will:

All to pay for tax cuts for corporations and the ultra-rich, including many House Republicans themselves. Today’s vote follows a historic speech from Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries warning of the bill’s devastating consequences for millions of Americans.

The passage of this bill comes after months of “concerns” from congressional Republicans and explicit acknowledgment of the fact that this bill would gut healthcare and raise costs for their own constituents, with a decisive number of House Republicans previously vowing to never vote to cut Medicaid.

As it turns out, those congressional Republicans lied to us.

Today’s party-line vote by House Republicans to rip healthcare away and raise grocery costs for tens of millions of Americans is as devastating as it is enraging. For months, a decisive number of House Republicans voiced their concerns, acknowledging that this bill would make people poorer and sicker, only to vote in favor of this bill. It’s a cruel betrayal and proof positive you cannot trust career politicians who will put their interests over those of their own constituents' health care and wallets.” — Accountable.US Executive Director Tony Carrk

A reminder that more than 70% of congressional Republicans are poised to financially benefit from their tax and budget scam, per Accountable.US’s CashinCongress.org database, while their most vulnerable constituents can expect to lose their healthcare.
