Policy Soup stir the pot ALPHA

If Republicans allow the tax credits that help people afford their health care premiums expire, a couple in Ouray would be forced to pay over $1000/ month for health insurance. That is unbelievable. Coloradans cannot afford that. Republicans must negotiate with Democrats to preserve these credits.

It is imperative that the deal on the table be finalized, that the hostages be reunified with their loved ones, that Gaza be flooded with humanitarian aid, and that this conflict end. Any other outcome will only prolong the tragedy of October 7. (2/2)
