Medicaid Cuts

It is the “largest Medicaid cut in U.S. history.”

9,000 Alaskans are being kicked off health coverage entirely. Alaska’s rural hospitals will be forced to close. And reports show that Sullivan’s Medicaid cuts “will spike health care costs for everyone.”

RAISING PRICES ON GROCERIES, UTILITIES AND HOUSING

Sullivan’s bill is increasing the cost of basics, like food, utilities and housing for Alaskans.

Families are already struggling with rising costs due to the tariffs and war that Sullivan supported, and this bill makes it even worse. Sullivan’s bill made the largest cut to SNAP in history, taking away food assistance for thousands of Alaskans, including children, and raising grocery prices for millions. The bill’s cuts to energy production mean “electricity prices are expected to surge higher throughout the next decade.” And Sullivan’s bill will increase interest on a mortgage for the median single-family home by an average of $720, or approximately $1,600 over a typical 30-year loan.

TAX BREAKS FOR BILLIONAIRES

It is a “massive tax break for billionaires and large corporations.”

While Alaskans lose health coverage and see higher prices for insurance, groceries, and utilities, Dan Sullivan’s bill uses that money to give billionaires and large corporations a massive tax break. And those tax breaks “are now permanent.”
