Mariannette Miller Meeks Will Raise Health Care Costs for 27,000 People in IA 01 if She Has Her Way

Two years ago, Mariannette Miller-Meeks voted against the Inflation Reduction Act and the expansion of the ACA subsidies that kept health care costs down.

If Miller-Meeks has her way, she would let these subsidies expire and raise health care costs on an estimated 27,000 people in Iowa's First Congressional District.

Without the ACA subsidies, enrollees in IA-01 will pay roughly $980 more for health care, and approximately 3.4 million people would lose their health insurance nationwide.

Miller-Meeks 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.

This comes as no surprise after Miller-Meeks took nearly $200,000 from the drug and insurance industry, even accepting a check from an insulin manufacturer on the same day she voted against capping the price of insulin.

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