WASHINGTON — Today, Representative Lou Correa (CA-46) voted against the GOP’s One Big, Ugly Bill and released the following statement:
“This week, I returned to Washington to vote against the GOP’s One Big, Ugly Bill that would strip away health care hard-earned benefits from hard-working Orange County taxpayers, children, and seniors It includes over $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, the Affordable Care Act and food assistance for kids, seniors, and veterans. As a result of this legislation, over 2.3 million people in California will lose their health coverage. Across Orange County, thousands of seniors rely on SNAP and food assistance programs to keep themselves and their families fed. These essential services are now in jeopardy.
I voted against this bill—because I cannot in good conscience put the hundreds of thousands of hard-working American taxpayers in Orange County who rely on these programs to survive at risk. It’s unacceptable, unconscionable, and un-American.”
