Juan Ciscomani 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 Juan Ciscomani and House Republicans had their way, they would let these subsidies expire and raise health care costs on roughly 20 million Americans - including roughly 35,000 people in AZ-06.

Without the ACA subsidies, enrollees in AZ-06 will pay roughly $640 more for health care, and approximately 3.4 million people would lose their health insurance nationwide.

Juan Ciscomani 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 Lauryn Fanguen:
"Juan Ciscomani has not only failed to lower health care costs for Arizonans, but threatens to raise costs even further. Voters can see that Ciscomani 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 Arizonans."
