The 2026 Open Enrollment period for health care coverage starts tomorrow, Nov. 1st. As Trump & Republicans in Congress are driving Americans' health care costs up, I urge everyone to check the rates to see if their plan will still meet their needs next year. Visit HealthCare.gov for more.
Hoyer Statement Ahead of the 2026 Open Enrollment Period
WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05) released the following statement ahead of the open enrollment period for health insurance coverage in 2026:
Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 31(source)
Without SNAP benefits, 42 million Americans - including nearly 680,000 in MD - would go without food assistance. Hundreds of federal employees in Maryland & beyond are already turning to their local food banks for help. We must put an end to this Republican shutdown.
Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 30(source)
We must not choose between paying federal workers, lowering health care costs, or funding federal food assistance; all are critically important to the American people. I will continue to demand a bipartisan agreement that accomplishes these objectives & puts an end to the Republican shutdown.
Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 30(source)
The Trump Administration doesn't want to reopen the government; they're working to dismantle it entirely. Their refusal to negotiate a bipartisan deal to end the Republican shutdown sends a clear message to the American people: You're On Your Own.
Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 29(source)
Thankful that the illegal purge of federal workers during the shutdown has been put to a stop. Now it's time to get these patriots their paychecks. I'll continue to stand up for them as House Democrats work to reopen the government & save health care. apnews.com/article/shut...
Judge extends order barring the Trump administration from firing federal workers during the shutdown
A federal judge in San Francisco has indefinitely blocked the Trump administration from firing federal workers during the government shutdown. U.S.
Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 24(source)
While Republicans are refusing to govern, federal workers are facing the consequences of their inaction & the Trump Admin's continued attacks. We must end the Republican shutdown now and protect affordable health care. Our federal workers & the Americans they serve depend on it.
Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 24(source)
The expiration of ACA subsidies would deal a staggering blow to thousands of Marylanders' financial well-being & overall health. Team Maryland demands Republican leadership bring the House back into session & act swiftly to protect the subsidies and save affordable health care.
Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 24(source)
The White House is being struck down by a president who apparently believes he is a king and wants to build a palace. Trump is a temporary tenant in America's House, and he must be held accountable for his demolition of the East Wing.
Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 24(source)
If anyone understands the dire costs of the Republican shutdown, it would be our federal workers. Until Republicans choose to govern, Congressman Ivey, Team Maryland, & I will keep working to reopen the government & lower Americans' health care costs as we help federal workers weather this storm.
Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 23(source)
At a time when Americans are concerned about the cost of living, rising health care costs, and ending the Republican shutdown, Trump's focusing on demolishing the White House's East Wing – without approval from Congress or public transparency. The Trump Admin must answer for their misconduct.
Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 22(source)
Since the Republican Shutdown began 22 days ago, we've witnessed the unlawful firings of federal employees, disruptions to vital services, and the danger of rising health care costs. Tune in as Democrats hear from Americans who are experiencing these devastating impacts:
Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 21(source)
There’s a simple deal to be made: Reopen the government, pay our public servants, & lower health care costs for hardworking Americans. It's imperative that Republicans come back to the table to negotiate a bipartisan agreement that accomplishes all of these objectives.
Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 21(source)
The Republican Shutdown has put financial strain on federal workers in MD, especially those reporting to the office to continue serving the American people. I commend Gov. Moore & Maryland Transit Administration for extending this resource as Team MD continues working to support federal employees.

Maryland will provide free MARC train and Commuter Bus service to federal workers for the duration of the government shutdown.
Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 20(source)
The Dept. of Education's Office of Special Education & Rehabilitative Services helps students with disabilities & their families understand their rights under federal disability law to ensure they have a successful future. House Dems demand a reversal of the illegal firings in this vital agency.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 16(source)
Rising living costs & health care expenses continue to threaten the economic stability of families across MD. The Maryland Delegation is calling on Republican leadership to bring the House back into session & act swiftly to extend ACA tax credits to protect affordable healthcare for Marylanders.
Hoyer, Maryland Delegation Members Urge Republican Leaders to Reopen Government, Prevent Health Care Costs from Skyrocketing and Protect Rural Health Care Access

The law is clear: all impacted federal employees are entitled to back pay after a government shutdown ends. I led my colleagues in demanding that OMB Director Vought follow the law passed by President Trump in 2019 & end his attack on federal workers. hoyer.house.gov/media/press-...
Hoyer, Kaine, Murkowski, & Van Hollen Lead Colleagues in Urging Administration to Follow Law on Back Pay for Furloughed Federal Workers
