The 60 Plus Association was started with Koch money in 1992. It bragged in 1997 that it was the first seniors group to back privatizing Social Security, and it has pushed to turn Medicare into vouchers. Eleven House Republicans and an independent who caucuses with them took its award anyway.
Trump's budget bill outlawed the tax that helps fund health coverage for 14 million Californians. Kiley voted yes. California rewrote the tax to comply. On July 24 Kiley asked Kennedy and Oz to deny it — and cited the bill he voted for as his reason.

At his only 2024 debate Bresnahan said he'd oppose a federal abortion ban 'under any circumstances.' Then he voted for H.R. 21, and for a budget bill that shut the Wilkes-Barre Planned Parenthood out of Medicaid for a year. This July he launched a Women for Rob coalition.
Virginia's 5th District has the fewest hospitals per square mile in the state, 15 counties with no obstetric care, and the worst doctor shortage in Virginia.

Colstrip Unit 4 has the highest toxic particulate emission rate of any coal-fired unit in the country, and Colstrip is the only plant of its kind without modern filters. Downing says the required technology isn't commercially viable. It's been on the market for 50 years.
340B is why small-town hospitals can staff an ER. Rural CEOs say they'd be out of business without it. Downing's argument for scrutinizing it is that fewer people are uninsured — after he voted for a bill projected to strip coverage from 22,601 people in his own district.
