The American people can't afford to pay thousands more for their health insurance.

Commissioner Bisignano's comments erode trust in Social Security, and our seniors deserve better. The Trump administration is now claiming they won't push to raise the retirement age, & Senate Democrats are going to hold them to it.

Make no mistake: raising the retirement age is effectively a cut in Social Security benefits.
It's time for Republicans to join Democrats and stand up for their constituents. New Yorkers can't afford to pay even more for their health care.
If Congress doesn't take action, the cost of health care is going to skyrocket. An individual in Clinton County making $65,000/year will pay roughly $6,400 MORE per year for their insurance.
Today, we mark 2 years since 1,200 innocent people – including dozens of fellow Americans – were murdered by Hamas. They were mothers & fathers, sons & daughters, neighbors & friends. I've fought every day to help bring the hostages home, & my heart is with the families on this painful anniversary.
Members of Congress shouldn't be paid while hundreds of thousands of hardworking people are sent home or expected to work without pay.
That's why I'm forgoing my paycheck for this entire shutdown.
President Trump is mad at Senate Democrats for fighting to lower health care costs, but he's punishing the American people.
This is your money, your taxes. Your community shouldn't be targeted or punished because your state's electoral votes didn't go to President Trump. It's plain un-American.
That's right — nearly 80% of the public want us to extend key tax credits and lower health care costs.
Congressional Republicans should listen to their own constituents.
Secretary Duffy promised me that the Trump administration would not pull back funding for these two major infrastructure projects in NYC.
Their announcement is a complete betrayal of a commitment made to New Yorkers. They're using New Yorkers' tax dollars to score political points. It's shameful.
We can't afford to kick this down the road. It's time to stand up for the American people and lower health care costs.
No one should face financial ruin because they need surgery or they're battling cancer.
Let's come together to lower health care costs and fund the government.
To be clear, undocumented immigrants aren't even allowed to enroll in federally funded health coverage.
This is a lie to distract from the fact that Republicans are making your health care more expensive. The people they're hurting are seniors on fixed incomes & working Americans.
Congressional Republicans can vote to lower health care costs for Americans like Victoria, or they can shut down the government. The choice is clear.
"Victoria and her husband have discussed divorcing ‒ just on paper ‒ to protect their assets if her health care costs tip her into bankruptcy." In the richest country in the world, no family should face financial ruin because of a cancer diagnosis.
We can’t afford this President or his followers in Congress.

At a time when the Trump tariffs and inflation are crushing hardworking people, President Trump and the MAGA Congress are about to shut down the government because they refuse to make health care more affordable for millions of working Americans.
Health care costs are already sky-high, and President Trump's new tariffs will put even more pressure on families struggling to afford care.
He's using our prescription medications as a bargaining chip in his trade war, & working Americans are going to pay the price.

President Trump prioritized tax breaks for billionaires while everyday Americans struggle to afford a visit to the doctor.
President Trump claimed he wanted to make America healthy again. Instead, he cut millions of Americans off Medicaid, slashed food assistance programs that help feed hungry children, and drove away our nation's leading experts.
