Tom Kean Jr. Will Raise Health Care Costs for 20 Million Americans if He Has His Way

Two years ago, every single House Republican voted against the Inflation Reduction Act and the expansion of the ACA subsidies that kept health care costs down.

If Tom Kean Jr. and House Republicans had their way, they would let these subsidies expire and raise health care costs on roughly 20 million Americans - including roughly 31,000 people in New Jersey's 7th Congressional District.

Without the ACA subsidies, enrollees in NJ-07 will pay roughly $1,770 more for health care, and approximately 3.4 million people would lose their health insurance nationwide.

Kean Jr. and House Republicans have proposed numerous measures to raise health care costs, including raising the price of prescription drugs for 3.3 million people and privatizing Medicare.

DCCC Spokesperson Aidan Johnson:
"Tom Kean Jr. has not only failed to lower health care costs for New Jerseyans, but threatens to raise costs even further. Voters can see that Kean Jr. and House Republicans refuse to lift a finger to help them on pocketbook issues, and know they can never be trusted to deliver much-needed relief for New Jerseyans."
