The Republican Tax Scam will Rip Away Health Care from 1 Million+ New Yorkers

NEW YORK — On Wednesday, July 9 at 3:00PM, Congressman Joe Morelle, Congresswoman Laura Gillen, and Congressman Ritchie Torres will join Protect Our Care New York to discuss how Republicans in Congress voted to pass the deepest cuts to health care in American history.

By slashing Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, Congressmen Mike Lawler, Nick LaLota, and Andrew Garbarino have voted to rip away health care from 17 million Americans – including over 1 million New Yorkers – in order to fund massive tax breaks for the nation’s wealthiest individuals and corporations. As a direct result of this devastating bill, over 200,000 New Yorkers will see higher premiums and 13 New York hospitals will be forced to close.

Reps. Morelle, Gillen, and Torres will highlight the devastating impact of hollowing out essential medical coverage for New Yorkers, and hold Republicans accountable for voting to advance these draconian cuts.
