Ranking Member Brendan Boyle (D-PA) issued a statement condemning the House passage of what he called the Republican health care “scheme.” Boyle accused GOP leadership of exacerbating a health care crisis by advancing legislation that, according to him, would strip coverage from additional Americans rather than extending enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits.
Boyle urged Speaker Johnson to bring a clean extension of the ACA tax credits to the floor, calling the Republican bill a betrayal of Americans relying on affordable coverage. He framed the GOP’s actions as a continuation of what he described as “the largest health care cut in American history.”
The release cites Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that the bill would leave an additional 100,000 Americans uninsured each year and reduce ACA tax credits by $131 billion, increasing premium costs for millions enrolled in non-silver plans. While a secondary link to the committee’s “Republican Health Care Crisis” page includes references to KFF data and projections, no direct links to CBO analyses or legislative text are provided.
