Zach Nunn Will Raise Health Care Costs for 28,000 in IA-03 if He Has His Way

Two years ago, Zach Nunn opposed the Inflation Reduction Act and the expansion of the ACA subsidies that kept health care costs down.

If Zach Nunn has his way, he would let these subsidies expire and raise health care costs on an estimated 28,000 people in Iowa's Third Congressional District.

Without the ACA subsidies, enrollees in IA-03 will pay roughly $950 more for health care, and approximately 3.4 million people would lose their health insurance nationwide.

Zach Nunn and DC politicians have proposed numerous measures to raise health care costs, including raising the price of prescription drugs for 3.3 million people and privatizing Medicare.

Nunn has repeatedly proven to be a threat to Iowans' health care. When pressed by a cancer survivor to promise to protect the ACA, Nunn refused to answer - but this is hardly surprising after Nunn took more than $200,000 from the drug and insurance industry.

DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
"Zach Nunn has not only failed to lower health care costs for Iowans, but threatens to raise costs even further to boost the profits of his special interest donors. Voters can see that Nunn refuses to lift a finger to help them on pocketbook issues, and know he can never be trusted to deliver much-needed relief for Iowans."
