Ciscomani Issues Statement After House Passage of H.R. 1, the Reconciliation Package
WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Congressman issued the following statement after the House passage of H.R. 1, the House Reconciliation package:
"This is a reconciliation package that works for Americans and for Arizonans. It funds border security, prevents the highest tax increase in American history, and reduces taxes for working people, increases the child tax credit, and eliminates taxes on tips and overtime. It allows families more flexibility to save for college and health care costs. It also strengthens and protects Medicaid for those who rely on it by tackling waste, fraud, and abuse through sensible work requirements and stronger eligibility verification. I am proud to have worked with community partners, stakeholders, and our local hospitals to prevent changes to FMAP, a decrease in the provider tax, and per capita caps from being included in the reconciliation package, which would have been uniquely detrimental to thousands of Arizonans and rural hospitals in my district.
"I want to thank President Trump, Speaker Johnson and my colleagues for coming together around a package that's just common sense, and for listening to the voices of the people in my district that I've been advocating for through the reconciliation process. This budget does a much better job of getting our spending under control and prioritizing the things that truly matter to the hard-working taxpayer. There is more work to do but this is a great step in the right direction."
