Rep. Mackenzie voted YES twice to put sweeping Medicaid cuts into law. Now families are paying the price. Thousands of his constituents could lose Medicaid coverage. Local hospitals face growing financial pressure. And the cost of Pennie plans is skyrocketing. #ThePriceIsHigh (1/2)

That's on top of Trump's Big, Ugly Bill that robbed over 5 million people of food assistance and millions of health care — all to give billionaires tax breaks. We're continuing to sound the alarm on how Republican policies are causing sky-high prices and impacting our communities. #ThePriceIsHigh

Families in Bucks & Montco are paying more for health care, thousands have dropped Pennie coverage, and Medicaid cuts threaten lives and local hospitals. Rep. Fitzpatrick helped the original H.R. 1 pass the House by a single vote before later voting against the final bill. (1/2)

Last year, Republicans gutted funding for food aid and healthcare programs that working folks rely on, just to give rich donors a tax cut. Now, millions of families are skipping the doctor and sending kids to school with empty stomachs. It's time to hold the GOP accountable. #ThePriceIsHigh
