Washington, DC — The Republican Study Committee just released a budget proposal that repeals the Inflation Reduction Act’s Medicare negotiation program, hikes premium costs, and slashes Medicaid. In response, Protect Our Care Executive Director Brad Woodhouse issued the following statement:
“Republicans are reigniting their war on American health care. This plan hikes prescription drug prices, raises premiums on families, and slashes Medicaid. They want to drag us back to a time when Big Pharma and insurance companies had unchecked power — all at the expense of patients, and particularly seniors, people with disabilities, people of color, and rural Americans. They want to put people’s lives at risk just so the rich can get richer. Some things never change: Republicans want to raise health costs, ditch critical protections, and put profits over patients’ lives. If they get their way, it would be disastrous for the health and well-being of people across our country.”
