Last week, Derrick Van Orden and Bryan Steil voted to slash Medicaid and force Wisconsinites to foot the bill for tax cuts for the ultra-rich.
What exactly does that mean for WI-03 and WI-01?
According to new analysis based on the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) data, the cuts Van Orden and Steil championed will lead to:
- 57,870 total of their constituents losing health insurance coverage. That means…
- 28,953 people in WI-03.
- 28,917 people in WI-01.
- 38,770 total of their constituents losing health insurance coverage provided by Medicaid. That means…
- 18,953 people in WI-03.
- 19,817 people in WI-01.
- 19,100 total of their constituents losing health insurance coverage provided through the Affordable Care Act due to cuts to ACA enhanced premium tax credits. That means…
- 10,000 people in WI-03.
- 9,100 people in WI-01.
DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith:
“Numbers don’t lie: Derrick Van Orden and Bryan Steil voted to rip away health care from Wisconsinites to give tax cuts to the ultra-rich, and Wisconsin voters will hold them accountable next November.”
