Republican Congressman Zach Nunn (IA-03) has backed the GOP’s budget resolution, a measure that could result in millions of Americans losing access to health care and groceries. This decision comes at the expense of critical support for working families, all to give a massive tax break to billionaires.
“116,100 living, breathing people relied on Zach Nunn to have their backs and protect their health insurance. In the end he chose to betray them. The billionaires may appreciate their tax cuts, but voters will not forget,” said American Bridge 21st Century spokesperson Nico Delgado.
The budget resolution would cut Medicaid up to $880 billion and SNAP up to $230 billion. Iowans who depend on Medicaid and SNAP will suffer as a result:
- Approximately 116,100 (17%) of Nunn’s constituents in Iowa’s 3rd District are covered by Medicaid or CHIP and over 31,000 have used SNAP.
Before Nunn voted to slash Medicaid, he refused to comment. Nunn previously voted for a Republican package that could have taken Medicaid coverage away from nearly two million Americans.
