BS. With open enrollment starting this week, this is a HUGE issue. Here’s the truth directly from Pennie: “If EPTCs are allowed to expire this year…when taking 2026 premium increases into account, the actual cost increase for enrollees will be 102% on average.”

Map of every county in Pennsylvania with the net premium percent change for Pennie 2026 Open Enrollment- without federal action to extend the ACA tax credits. Philadelphia county is highlighted where rates will raise an estimated 116%

Q: Unless ACA subsidies are extended, the average plan will increase by somewhere around 115% DR OZ: Where'd you get that number? Q: Kaiser Family Foundation OZ: They retracted that. Here's the truth. The average American who's on ACA is gonna pay $13 more than this year. That's not a big issue

“If my premiums go up any further, and I can afford neither the premiums nor my medication, it will affect my ability to work, to care for my husband, and to care for myself,” a North Philly resident told my office. This is exactly why I’m fighting to protect the ACA tax credits.

I can barely afford my current premiums, but I really can't afford to go without health insurance. I take specialty medication for Rheumatoid Arthritis that I cannot physically function without.

Our seniors, veterans, and children should not be used as pawns by this administration. Thank you, Governor Shapiro, for taking legal action to demand Trump use the BILLIONS in available funds to pay next month’s SNAP benefits & ensure nearly 2 million Pennsylvanians can put food on the table.

On Saturday — for the first time in history — nearly two million Pennsylvanians won’t receive the SNAP benefits they need to feed their families because President Trump is using their food assistance as a political bargaining chip.

Is this some of the aforementioned “most meaningful work” of House Republicans’ careers? Picking up new hobbies like leaf blowing?? Today is Day 39 of NO voting session in the House. #GOPShutdown

IT’S ELECTRIC — Republican House members have been picking up new hobbies while waiting out the shutdown in their districts, Playbook’s Dasha Burns writes in. Among the most popular: the art of leaf blowing, according to a source close to Republican representatives. Lawmakers are discovering the advent of electric leaf blowers. Several were initially concerned about the political implications of switching from gas to electric, but apparently in the domain of household appliances, the switch to a quieter more efficient tool that doesn’t wake the kids and anger the neighbors is worth it.

Could we get some examples of this “most meaningful work”? More meaningful than passing the 9 out of 12 annual funding bills the House still hasn't passed? More meaningful than stopping the looming shutdown of health care for 24 million Americans? #GOPShutdown

Let's be clear: the Trump administration has BILLIONS of dollars available to fund SNAP- they are just choosing not to. If they don't act, 42 million Americans- including 500,000 Philadelphians- will struggle to put food on the table next month. This is not a game!

“I am grateful for my SNAP benefits and wanted you to know that it's going to be a tremendous burden for my household in November 2025. It's the choice of paying a bill or buying food.” - Germantown Senior

“SNAP is fortunately so helpful to our communities. More than food on the table, it provides daily roles of food nutrition and balance.” - Philadelphia College Student

“I am a retired senior citizen who relies on SNAP benefits to supplement my Social Security only income. SNAP is vital for the elderly like myself as well as low-income families with children in the Philadelphia area.” - Southwest Philadelphia Senior

Glad to see one of my PA colleagues from across the aisle calling on Congress to “get back to work.” Beyond tackling the debt- in the short term, we must end the shutdown of federal services, ensure all our federal workers are paid, and stop the shutdown of health care for millions of Americans.

RAJU: Why not bring members back to DC to do the work they're elected to do? MIKE JOHNSON: We're evaluating this day by day. The House did its work. House Republicans are doing some of the most meaningful work of their careers. I don't want to pull them away from it.

Congressman Dwight Evans@repdwightevans.bsky.socialOct 27(source)

Speaker Johnson once again canceled votes, extending the House GOP's 38-day paid vacation. House Democrats from PA are united in calling on the Speaker to bring us all back to work in DC- it's past time for all of our Republican colleagues to stand up for Pennsylvanians and join us.

Senate Democrats tried to pass a bill to pay ALL federal workers and stop Trump’s illegal firings. Senate Republicans said no. This is a #GOPShutdown. Period.

COLLINS: If the government reopened tonight, would Republicans have a plan to address the Obamacare subsidies? MIKE JOHNSON: Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. We do. We have proposals. Yeah. We can have that ready immediately.

Congress has provided USDA roughly $5 billion in contingency SNAP funding for times like this. I joined my House Democratic colleagues to demand the administration use this money and ensure 42 million Americans, including nearly 500,000 here in Philly, are able to put food on the table next month.

Rep. Evans joins over 210 House Democrats in demanding the Trump administration use congressionally authorized funds to ensure the continuation of SNAP benefits. Nearly 500,000 Philadelphians could lose their benefits at the end of the month.

“I work hard, and I’m trying to survive and do it the right way and pay my way,” explained Chrissy from PA, who relies on Pennie for health care coverage. She is just one of 24 million Americans who are going to see their premiums skyrocket if congressional Republicans don’t act NOW. 📸: AP

As I said when I rallied with @phillyaflcio.bsky.social and AFGE - the only way to end this federal shutdown, paying ALL federal employees and contractors, and end the looming shutdown of health care for millions is for congressional Republicans to work with Democrats!
