LAUREN JOINS DAWN EXPANDING ON THE REALITY OF HEALTHCARE COSTS UNDER JOE BIDEN... AND THE IGNORED REALITY FROM THE WH ADMINISTRATION... 

Lauren Stewart: “President Joe Biden is trying to rewrite his record on healthcare and hoping no one notices….“More Americans have healthcare today than under any other president, and it’s saving the American taxpayers money,” he claimed recently. He then said his political opponents plan to reverse his “accomplishments” and “take healthcare away” from millions of people….A neutral fact-checker would rate those claims “mostly false.””

Lauren Stewart: “Here are the facts on healthcare under Biden:

People are currently experiencing the single largest jump in medical expenses in nearly a decade.


Almost 75% of voters still worry about healthcare costs and unexpected bills.
Nearly 40% of people delayed medical care last year due to concerns about cost.
Sixty-eight percent of voters believe the healthcare system has major problems or is in a state of crisis.”


Lauren Stewart: “Biden’s biggest false claim? That his opponents in Congress don’t have any healthcare solutions and want to take the country backward. I talk to lawmakers and staff on Capitol Hill every day. There’s zero evidence to support the president’s claims….In fact, Congress is focused on bipartisan solutions that expand access to affordable healthcare. Congressional Republicans have introduced dozens of healthcare bills aimed at boosting price transparency, ending unfair billing by hospitals, and empowering lower-income people to control their healthcare dollars through health savings accounts — a measure that would save taxpayers close to $30 billion. Yet another GOP bill would even offer every person the option to obtain the care of their choosing through a generous, universal personal health credit worth $12,000 for a family of four….

These proposals would make healthcare more affordable, expand access, improve quality, and strengthen America’s health safety net, all while protecting taxpayers. And they’re popular with the voters Biden needs – independents, suburban women, lower- and middle-income families, and minorities. An issue that at one time may have been a weakness for Republicans is now a strength….Biden is pushing a narrative on healthcare that ignores reality. Moreover, it’s his own failed policies that have limited access and increased costs. And it’s the solutions at the heart of the GOP’s health agenda that will put patients in control of their healthcare.”

Lauren Stewart: Biden Healthcare Reality...

ELIZABETH STELLE OF THE COMMONWEALTH FOUNDATION JOINS DAWN LIVE! ELIZABETH JOINS TO SHARE SOME PERSPECTIVE ON TAX CUTS AND THE IMPACT ON FAMILIES IN THE KEYSTONE STATE... 

Pa. Senate’s Proposed Tax Cuts Would Save Families $900 Per Year
SB 269 would reduce the Personal Income Tax and eliminate the Gross Receipts Tax on electricity.

Harrisburg, Pa., May 29, 2024 — Senate Bill (SB) 269 would slash taxes across Pennsylvania and save the average family of four $400 in fiscal year (FY) 2024–25 and $900 in FY 2025–26, according to the Commonwealth Foundation’s latest analysis. The legislation would cut the Personal Income Tax (PIT) rate from 3.07 percent to 2.8 percent beginning in January 2025 and eliminate the Gross Receipts Tax on electricity.

According to the Independent Fiscal Office (IFO), Pennsylvania’s working-age population will decline by 4.3 percent by 2030. Fewer working adults will support a growing number of seniors, resulting in lower tax revenues and higher costs for long-term care programs.

“Pennsylvania is facing a demographic crisis with a shrinking workforce that will severely strain the state's finances in the coming years,” said Elizabeth Stelle, director of policy analysis at the Commonwealth Foundation. “Enacting responsible tax cuts now is crucial to attracting and retaining jobs, empowering working families, and boosting economic growth.”

SB 269’s proposed 9 percent reduction to the PIT rate would improve Pennsylvania's ranking to the 10th lowest individual income tax rate in the nation. Eliminating the 59-mill Gross Receipts Tax on electricity sales would provide additional savings for families by removing a surcharge currently passed on to consumers.

“While Governor Shapiro's proposed budget increases spending, raises energy costs, and creates a structural deficit of more than $6 billion, the Senate Republican tax cut plan offers targeted tax relief to make Pennsylvania more attractive for workers and small businesses,” Stelle said. “Along with spending restraint, these tax cuts are vital first steps toward confronting our economic and demographic headwinds.”

The Commonwealth Foundation’s analysis also determined that Pennsylvania can further improve its economic standing by eliminating the startup penalty on small businesses. Enacting net operating loss reforms would encourage more business startups throughout the state.

Stelle continued: “For too long, Pennsylvania has been losing residents and jobs to other states with more favorable tax climates. SB 269 moves us in the right direction by letting working families keep more of their hard-earned money. The General Assembly should make these tax cuts a priority.”
