Peter DeFazio supports “big tax increases”

Policy experts and economists are sounding the alarm about Democrats’ plans for socialized medicine.

Here is the damning reality about the government-run health care plan that Peter DeFazio cosponsors:

• “Most of the proposals to move to Medicare-for-all would involve substantial tax increases that would affect most people. These are going to be big tax increases.”
• “There’s no question it hits the middle class.”
• “This has to hit the middle class.”
• “71 percent of those with private insurance would pay more in new taxes than they would save by having health insurance covered by the federal government.”

NRCC Comment: “Peter DeFazio’s socialist agenda will cost Oregon families thousands of dollars, and all these families will get in return are longer lines and worse care at the doctor’s office.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Torunn Sinclair
