As North Carolinians face skyrocketing premiums, DC insider Michael Whatley has repeatedly championed Republicans’ efforts to raise health care costs on working families – all while raking in campaign cash from “donors linked to health care fraud” and giving billionaires a tax break. 

His record includes: 

• Backing the toxic GOP budget that guts Medicaid for hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians and puts at least five rural hospitals across the state at risk of closing, all to give billionaires a tax break. He called it a “huge win” and said he would have voted for it “in a heartbeat.”

• Calling for repealing the ACA and supporting DC Republicans as they refused to extend the ACA tax credits that made health care more affordable.

• Nearly one million North Carolinians relied on the ACA tax credits.

• Estimates show out-of-pocket premiums are set to increase by 114% due to the lapse of the enhanced ACA subsides. 

• His campaign being bankrolled by donors in the health care industry accused of Medicaid and Medicare fraud.
