Illinoisans Pay the Price as Mike Bost, Darin LaHood and Mary Miller Turn Their Backs on Them

Springfield, IL — As U.S. Representatives Mike Bost (IL-12), Mary Miller (IL-15), and Darin LaHood (IL-16), excitedly work to deny their constituents’ health care and food assistance, Democratic Party of Illinois Chair Lisa Hernandez released the following statement:

“MAGA Republicans once again failed to stand up for Illinoisans—gleefully supporting Donald Trump's disastrous billionaire-first budget. This budget won’t make life better for Illinoisans, it will rob them of their health insurance, take food off the table, and kill good-paying jobs — all while actively transferring money from the poorest to the richest among us. This budget is an attack on working families across Illinois. Representatives Bost, LaHood and Miller should be ashamed. They and Donald Trump promised to lower costs for working families. They lied.”

LaHood pretends to care about a better future for his constituents: When in reality:

Republicans’ refusal to extend the enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits will skyrocket health insurance costs for the 21,000 people who have coverage under the ACA in Representative LaHood's district, blowing a $1,010 annual hole in their personal budgets — a 44% increase in premiums. He’s voting to harm them. To decimate his constituents’ wallets.

Democrats across the nation and Illinois are mobilizing to hold Republicans accountable everywhere because the stakes are high.
