MADISON, Wis. — Today, in a rare act of defiance, four House Republicans signed onto a bipartisan petition to force a vote on extending ACA tax credits, a hopeful sign for the families who rely on these credits to afford health care. However, Wisconsin Republicans Derrick Van Orden and Bryan Steil, both of whom represent purple districts, refused to join the bipartisan effort.
“Instead of standing up for working-class Wisconsinites by supporting the continuation of these tax credits, Derrick Van Orden and Bryan Steil folded to Trump and the GOP,” said Democratic Party of Wisconsin spokesperson Philip Shulman. “They can cosplay as moderate Republicans all they want, but their records on health care show their agenda aligns more with right-wing hacks than with the very people they represent.”
