Millions of Workers Go Without Paychecks While Republicans Insist On Devastating Cuts to the Health Care System
Palm Springs, CA – Today, MAGA Republican and lead Trump enabler Darrell Issa refused to put a stop to devastating health care cuts that affect almost 30,000 people in CA-48. While Issa prioritizes giving tax cuts to the richest Americans and avoids bipartisan budget negotiations, as many as 4 million federal employees and roughly 2 million troops could be forced to go without pay.
In CA-48, Covered California premiums would go up by an average of over 75%, and 13,300 people will lose their health care altogether because they can’t afford higher premiums.
“The affordability crisis is hitting Americans at all income levels, and Darrell Issa has shown that he will put Trump over affordability at any chance he can get,” said Brandon Riker. “Inflation is going up, health care tax credits are going away, and our community will inevitably be hurt – but Darrell Issa and Donald Trump don’t give a damn about us.”
