This is bad, but Democrats are fighting like hell to make sure you don’t have to pay these massively increased costs.

BREAKING: According to new data from the Wisconsin OCI, if Republicans fail to extend enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits, Wisconsinites are going to pay hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands more dollars a year for their healthcare coverage. This is really bad, folks.

"If Affordable Care Act Tax Credits go away, a family of four making $130,000 a year on silver plan will pay more for healthcare" with a map of annual increases across the state

"If Affordable Care Act Tax Credits go away, a 60-year-old couple making $85,658 a year on silver plan will pay more for healthcare" with a map of annual increases across the state

"If Affordable Care Act Tax Credits go away, a 60-year-old making $63,383 a year on silver plan will pay more for healthcare" with a map of annual increases across the state

"If Affordable Care Act Tax Credits go away, a 26-year-old making $48,000 a year on silver plan will pay more for healthcare" with a map of annual increases across the state

We need to lower costs for Americans!

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govOct 26(source)

It’s time for House Republicans to get back to DC next week, reopen the damn government, and prevent healthcare costs from soaring. I wonder if they will…

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govOct 25(source)

COURT WIN! A federal court unanimously ruled against the Trump administration’s attempt to delay decisions on veterans’ claims that they were unfairly denied service-related benefits. A win for our veterans and the American people!

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govOct 24(source)

Instead of focusing on lowering costs, Trump decided his “top priority” was demolishing the entire East Wing of the White House. So damn out of touch.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govOct 24(source)

among other concerns with this ridiculous ballroom project. As members of the House Appropriations Committee, this falls under our jurisdiction and we’ll be expecting answers at a public hearing. (2/2)

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govOct 24(source)

I’ve teamed up with @hoyer.house.gov, @bishop.house.gov, & @ivey.house.gov on a letter to the Trump admin demanding they testify at a public hearing to get answers on why the hell they ignored the permitting process and demolished the East Wing of the White House, (1/2)

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. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govOct 23(source)

Uh, what? Not the government shutdown or the fact that millions of Americans are about to see their health insurance costs go sky high?! Trump only cares about himself.

Leavitt: At this moment in time, the ballroom is really the president's main priority.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govOct 23(source)

This could be resolved tomorrow if Republicans would return to Washington to vote with Democrats on a bill to fund the government and protect access to affordable healthcare.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govOct 23(source)

Federal workers are going without pay during this shutdown. Yesterday, I brought pizza to some furloughed federal workers to hear their stories and reiterate my support.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govOct 23(source)

That’s why I’m co-sponsoring the White House BALL Act, that will halt all construction on White House grounds that is not directly related to health and safety for the duration of any lapse in federal funding. (2/2)

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govOct 23(source)

While our civil servants go without pay, Trump has gone full steam ahead on construction of his gaudy ballroom, including demolishing the East Wing of the White House. (1/2)

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govOct 23(source)

Trump claimed he knew nothing about Project 2025, and the media largely took him at his word. Now, it’s nearly 50% complete. project2025.observer/en But the Project 2025 agenda is deeply unpopular. It’s why millions joined together last weekend to protest a wannabe king!

The super-rich want us fighting and divided, left vs. right. The real divide is billionaire elites vs. working people.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govOct 23(source)

It’s deeply disappointing that working people are being put in this position because Republicans in Congress refuse to negotiate with Democrats to reopen the government.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govOct 23(source)

FoodShare is one of the most effective tools we have to fight hunger in Wisconsin and support local economies. If the government remains shut down into November, this critical support system will be at risk.

This could be resolved tomorrow if Republicans would return to Washington to vote with Democrats on a bill to fund the government and protect access to affordable healthcare.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govOct 22(source)

Today, I brought pizza for some furloughed federal workers to hear their stories and reiterate my support. Because Republicans in Congress refuse to negotiate and reopen the government, countless public servants are going without pay.

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govOct 22(source)

Question for my Republican colleagues – how the heck does this lower grocery prices?

Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govOct 22(source)

What’s the deal with Kratom? Who is it for and is it safe? Had a great in-depth chat on these topics and more with Mac Haddow of the American Kratom Association. youtu.be/0k2aCl3Z0DA
