Today, December 7th, 2021, Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-02) released the following statement after voting NO on an inadequate fix to Medicare sequestration:
“Today, I voted no on the Democrat majority’s heavy-handed decision to play political games with Americans’ healthcare and businesses. Medicare patients need and deserve access to quality care and providers. After months of fair negotiations, the majority has chosen a short-term fix to Medicare sequestration and has directly tied it to a debt limit increase. Ensuring patients have access to care and that there are options for quality providers needs to be a top priority. Instead of kicking the can down the road, Congress should be staying in Washington until a long-term bipartisan solution is agreed upon to avoid cuts to Medicare. These political games are unacceptable and the American people deserve better. I look forward to working with my colleagues to address this issue in a permanent and constructive manner.”
