With open enrollment underway and premiums set to skyrocket, I met with health care advocates in Wilmington to discuss the impacts they're seeing in our state. We must act to end this health care crisis, reform our insurance system, and lower costs. Delawareans can't wait.

This morning, I heard from Reverend Fleshman what skyrocketing premiums mean for our communities These price hikes leave people with few options, and none of them are good— we need this administration to come to the table and take action to make care affordable for ALL of us.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govNov 3(source)

After kicking millions of Americans off their insurance, Republicans are refusing to take action to prevent outrageous price hikes like this for millions more. They're making our communities sicker and poorer, and they don't even seem to care.

Delaware: your health care bill could more than double next year.

If Republicans take away health care tax credits, a similar plan will cost thousands more.

Open enrollment begins today, and folks up and down our state are about to see what Republicans’ refusal to come to the table really costs. Head to healthcare.gov to see what these skyrocketing premiums could mean for you and your family.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govOct 31(source)

Millions of Americans are about to see their premiums double. Let’s see what the President is working on:

When open enrollment begins tomorrow, a 61-year-old in Georgetown will see a premium that’s *446% higher* than it was last year - $1,192.45 per month. With everyday costs already high, this is simply unaffordable. We cannot let this stand.

As the Trump admin. refuses to use emergency funds to help folks on SNAP, states like ours are stepping up. I just introduced legislation that would make sure states aren’t left footing the bill.

Let Me Be Blunt: congressional Republicans are about to let our friends and neighbors go hungry. 42 MILLION people are about to lose access to food assistance. It’s time for Republicans to come back to the table and help us fix this.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govOct 30(source)

Thanks to Republicans in Washington, a 50-year-old couple in Middletown will see their premiums go up by 224% this Saturday. Are there any Delawareans who want to spend more than $1,200 extra PER MONTH for their health coverage?

This administration let nearly 100 million pounds of food go to waste rather than deliver it to food banks. It’s like they WANT millions of Americans to go hungry.

Over 40 million Americans will lose food assistance in the coming days due to Republicans' government shutdown. The Trump administration has refused to release funding set aside to keep food assistance programs running during emergencies.

The government has been shut down for 28 days. Senate Republicans:

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govOct 28(source)

There’s no doubt, we have important business to get to here in the Senate, but we can’t ignore the basic fact: we can’t credibly take on the issues facing our nation until Republicans come to the table and reopen the government.

Countless farmers in Delaware and across the country are suffering the consequences of this administration's recklessness. They don't need fake sympathy from a man worth half a billion dollars. They need an administration focused on putting them first.

Just this year, Republicans… -Cut funding for SNAP, and now are trying to use hungry families as political leverage -Cut funding for affordable health care, and now are trying to use higher premiums as political leverage They're playing politics with people's lives.

Energy costs are up Housing costs are up Food costs are up And soon, health care costs will skyrocket. The President said on day one he would lower costs, but the reality is he's making things more expensive for everyone.

Inflation climbs to highest level since January, beef prices soar

A recent uptick in prices has coincided with a sharp slowdown of hiring.

They may not act like it, but even Republicans know we have to take on skyrocketing health care costs. To prove it, @mcbride.house.gov and I got together to connect Republicans with their own words about this crisis. It's time for them to put their money where their mouths are.

Proud to join @merkley.senate.gov on the floor to break down some of this administration’s MOST corrupt acts and help raise the alarm. Here, the voices of our communities hold weight and I’ll never stop speaking out.
