Half of the children born in Whatcom County last year were born into families who use Medicaid as their primary source of health care. Now, their health care is at risk because of the Republican Rip-Off.
The Republican budget betrays the middle class, like those families in Whatcom County, by gutting services that help millions of families afford health care, put food on the table, and receive a quality education. Instead of lowering the cost of everyday items for American families, they are focused on handing a $4.5 trillion tax cut to the richest Americans and wealthiest corporations.
The Republican budget would devastate hard-working families in Northwest Washington. Under the Republican budget plan, families in Washington's Second Congressional District would see cuts to health care and other essential services, including:
* 34,000 people who get coverage via the Affordable Care Act will see premiums increase by an average of $1,460/year
* 186,000 people will be at risk of losing health coverage through Medicaid, including more than 80,000 children and 18,000 seniors
* 93,000 people will be at risk of losing food benefits, making food more expensive or even out of reach
These are our friends and neighbors that are being negatively impacted by the Republican Rip-Off and their potential budget cuts. I voted no on the Republican Rip-Off, and I will continue to fight against Republican efforts to drive up costs for middle-class families.
More soon,
Rick
