These are just a few of the stories I heard from working Texans. But their pain is being felt across the country.
I won’t support any “deal” that doesn’t make health care more affordable.
Anything else is a betrayal of millions of Americans.

Health care premiums for Patricia’s family in Buda would be $400 higher every month.
“We have a four year old and I am in school. Not having insurance is scary, but we can't afford it,” she told me.
Jessalynn from San Antonio said her family will have to lose their current plan — because they can’t afford another $300 a month in premiums.
“That’s not even counting the medications we have to be on and can't afford to stop taking.”
John from Kyle: “We're dropping health insurance entirely. Screw the GOP for sabotaging health care in America.”
His monthly payment was $1,260 in 2025.
If Trump and Republicans get their way, he would pay $1,767 a month in 2026.
James from Austin told me the cost of his health insurance could jump from $142/month to $436/month — or $839/month if he goes with another policy.
“As a diabetic, bipolar, and with upcoming hernia surgery, I must have health coverage,” he said.
Marisol from San Antonio told me the total cost for her family’s plan could go from $1,777 to $2,948 — increased by 66%.
“We are kind of terrified. We’ve relied on the ACA for our family's health insurance for several years. But this may no longer be possible.”
Texans who get insurance from healthcare.gov can now see how much their plan will cost in 2026.
Prices are higher for MILLIONS because Republicans are getting rid of critical tax credits.
I asked Texans to share what this would mean for their family. ⬇️
On Veterans Day, I am reflecting on the service and sacrifice of all our veterans.
I'm proud to represent Military City USA and am so grateful to every Texan and every American who has served.
Ashley told me that if she loses her health insurance, she isn’t sure how she’ll afford her inhaler.
This is what Democrats are fighting for.

By law, Trump must pay SNAP benefits so families can afford groceries.
But Trump wants so badly to cut health care that he's breaking the law to use hungry families as leverage.
Democrats must fight back against — not give in to — this bullying.
This is your daily reminder that:
1. Republicans shut down the government;
2. to make sure that 15 million Americans lose health care and 20 million Americans’ health care premiums double;
3. all so that billionaires get tax cuts.
It’s that simple.
I’m fighting to bring back tax credits to make insurance more affordable.
I need to hear from you about how much your costs will go up if Congress fails to act.
If you pay for health care under the ACA and your costs are increasing, please fill out this quick survey:

Texans who use healthcare.gov to get insurance can now see how much their plan will cost for 2026.
For millions of people, prices are set to go up because Republicans are getting rid of critical tax credits.

“I will go to the doctor less. I’ll need to spend less on groceries.”
— Grace in Austin
“In order to afford medical care we would have to restructure our entire life by moving or drain our small retirement accounts to get by for 2026.”
— Aerin in Austin
“I will no longer be able to treat my arthritis and I will have to pay for prescription medications out of my pocket. I will lose my doctors. I will have to go back to having no insurance.
I will have to pray every day that I don't get sick.”
— Laura in Kyle
“Without insurance another heart attack would bankrupt us.”
— Walt in San Antonio
“My son will not be able to get the surgery he desperately needs. I will have to pay out of pocket for preventative care and mental health care, adding stress and making me feel unsupported.”
— Joanie in Austin
“I may die sooner than I should have. My family will be devastated and left with a bill.”
— Fryda in San Antonio
