Why not support the Republican funding bill THEN talk about health care? When will the shutdown end? Why are the health care tax credits so urgent now? I've seen a lot of comments like these across my social media accounts—so let's talk about it!
"This isn't about Republicans & Democrats...this is about taking care of American citizens." Nanette got an email on Tuesday that her premiums are going up by $400/month. That simply isn't affordable. We need to extend the ACA tax credits NOW.
Trump wants the Department of Justice to pay him $230 million of YOUR taxpayer dollars. So, while health care costs rise for millions of Americans, our billionaire President is sticking his hand out. Trump is the most corrupt president in American history. Full stop.
When people go uninsured, they skip out on doctor's visits, they go without their medications, and they end up in the ER. If you don't believe me, I asked a doctor to lay out what happens when people aren't covered for the care they need. Health care should be a right.
"strengthened Medicaid?" "lowered premiums?" Are you kidding? Republicans passed the largest cut to Medicaid in history and thanks to their inaction premiums next year are set to more than double or even quadruple. War is peace, huh?
The committee that handles our nation's health is ignoring a HUGE elephant in the room—they haven't even held a hearing to discuss the expiring ACA tax credits. So today I made sure to bring attention to the millions of families that are getting priced out of their health care.
Democrats' plan: We want to extend support that makes health care more affordable. Republicans' plan: We never wanted to make health care more affordable in the first place.
If by "fixing health care" you mean "destroying it." You voted to gut Medicaid & let health care premiums skyrocket for millions of families. So, yes, that's what Republicans are doing.
I joined @merkley.senate.gov during his historic marathon floor speech to call out Trump's assault on Congress's power of the purse.   It's a gross abuse of power and it's corruption, plain and simple.   I'll keep sounding the alarm on Trump's unconstitutional power grab.
This morning, I opened up The Seattle Times and saw that a couple in WA state are seeing their premiums rise from $1,100 a month to $2,100 a month.   That is nearly DOUBLE.   We could fix this problem right now, but Trump cares more about building a ballroom than Americans' health care.
A typical family of four in WA state would see a $12,400 increase in their annual premiums if Republicans don't help us extend the ACA credits.   That is the equivalent to an extra YEAR’s worth of groceries just to afford the same health care plan they had last year.
Yesterday, Washington state opened 2026 window shopping for its ACA marketplace. Because of expiring premium tax credit enhancements, a typical 60-year-old couple making $85,000 and purchasing benchmark coverage is facing a $23,900 annual cost increase. (1/4)
Families who are seeing their health care premiums more than double are being told by Republicans to WAIT before we can even talk about a solution. The billionaires did not have to wait for their tax cuts. Republicans made sure to pass that last July. Save the ACA tax credits.
The President responded to peaceful protesters across this country with a video of himself wearing a crown, driving a fighter jet, and bombing peaceful protestors with human waste. Are you kidding me? Republicans don't say anything about this? It's a total disgrace.
The Republican health care plan is to do NOTHING while people get priced out of their insurance. Stop telling us to deal with it "later." Republicans spent all year focusing on tax cuts for billionaires, so they need to focus on health care for millions of Americans NOW.
