Sanford, FL – Today, the House of Representatives passed a bipartisan measure to lower the cost of health insurance premiums on the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace. Rep. Cory Mills voted against the measure, even though 114,000 of his constituents rely on the ACA marketplace for coverage.
Without action to lower health care costs, Florida families will pay thousands more every year, with premiums set to rise by an average of 81%.This vote follows a familiar pattern for Congressman Mills. This year alone, he has voted to strip Medicaid from thousands of his constituents, drain funding from rural hospitals, and nearly double ACA premium prices – to pay for tax handouts for billionaires.
Bale Dalton, who is running for Congress in FL-07 said:
“Today, Congressman Cory Mills once again voted to make life harder and more expensive for Floridians, by increasing the cost of health insurance. Just like he voted to cut Medicaid and strip funding from rural hospitals – to pay for tax giveaways for billionaires. Central Florida deserves so much better than Congressman Cory Mills, and we won’t forget it in November.”
