Protect Our Care’s New District-Specific Fact Sheets Cover Key Republican Lawmakers from AZ, CA, NY, PA, WA, IA, CO, MI, and NJ
Washington D.C. – Protect Our Care is releasing new district-level fact sheets that expose key House Republicans for lying to the American people about their scheme to gut Medicaid in order to fund tax breaks for the wealthy and large corporations. The fact sheets cover ten Republicans from swing districts as well as four GOP members of the Energy & Commerce Committee who are currently tasked with cutting $880 billion from Medicaid.
In addition to outlining the lies from each Congressman, each fact sheet outlines past budget votes, the number of constituents – including seniors, children, and people with disabilities – whose health care would be put at risk, and research proving Republicans’ proposed $880 billion in cuts will take Medicaid benefits away from people.
“Republicans are only weeks away from ripping health care away from millions of Americans, including their own voters,” said Protect Our Care Chair Leslie Dach. “They are lying to their constituents at home while continuing to vote for dismantling Medicaid in Washington.”
April is Medicaid Awareness Month, and Protect Our Care is leading the charge to defend Medicaid and the care that Americans count on with its “Hands Off Medicaid” campaign. The campaign includes TV, digital, and radio ads targeting Republican-held swing districts, report releases, and events around the country.
