CfG President McIntosh Statement on E&C Committee Markup

Washington, D.C. – Club for Growth President David McIntosh issued the following statement of disapproval following the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s markup of the extension and expansion of President Trump’s tax cuts:

“Club for Growth is disappointed that the Energy and Commerce committee has missed the opportunity to make real meaningful reforms. They should take page from the Ways and Means committee playbook and enact bold, transformational reforms to fulfill the promises Republicans made to voters in the last election. The Club encourages leaders in the House to craft a managers amendment that enacts common sense reforms to Medicaid, including: 1. Ensuring states pay their fair share for the expansion population by lowering the match rate to the same level for vulnerable populations of 70/30; and 2. Strengthening work requirements for able bodied adults and moving their start date to 2026. It should not take 4 years to implement common sense work requirements.” – David McIntosh, President, Club for Growth.
