A hallmark of Trump’s America: paying more and getting less. More from @nytimes.com: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/08/h...

$Graphic with New York Times headline: Obamacare Users Will Be Asked to Pay More for Plans That Cover Less In smaller text, an excerpt of the article: Millions of Americans are confronting the highest health insurance costs in years. For those enrolling in Obamacare for next year, the plans will cover a considerably smaller fraction of their medical bills.$

Millions of Americans are going to see their health care costs explode because Congressional Republicans refuse to extend these subsidies.

The Senate blocked a bill to extend Affordable Care Act health insurance subsidies, all but ensuring they will expire at the end of the year.

It is long overdue for the House Judiciary Committee to hold hearings and investigate all potential high crimes and misdemeanors committed by President Trump. My full statement: bobbyscott.house.gov/media-center...

#BREAKING: The House voted to table a resolution to impeach President Trump after Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) forced a vote on the matter, scuttling the snap impeachment push with the help of Democratic leaders voting “present” rather than aiding Green with the effort.

Today, @bobbyscott.house.gov , @pocan.house.gov, @debbiedingell.house.gov, @norcross.house.gov, and @rephorsford introduced a landmark bill to level the playing field and hold dishonest employers accountable. The LET'S Protect Workers Act would raise penalties for violating workers’ rights.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govDec 9(source)

President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law in 2010. Republicans have been trying to coalesce around a health care plan for over 15 years.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govDec 8(source)

Every House Democrat has signed a discharge petition to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits. We only need a few House Republicans to join us and save health care for millions of Americans.

Affordable Care Act subsidies that help millions of Americans pay for health insurance will expire in less than a month. Households will probably face spiking insurance costs next year if a bipartisan deal can’t be reached.

Members of Congress should not remain silent in the face of this dangerous rhetoric.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govDec 4(source)

President Trump is spewing dangerous and racist lies about U.S. citizens of Somali descent in Minnesota, including @repilhan.bsky.social. These comments are unbecoming of his office and have the potential to spur violence and sow distrust among our neighbors.

President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law, lowering drug prices by allowing Medicare to negotiate prescription drug costs and capping annual out-of-pocket expenses. Every Republican in Congress voted against it. Nice try, though.

The ACA tax credits are a lifeline for millions of Americans. Yet, Republicans are about to let them expire, and costs will skyrocket. @repmarkdesaulnier.bsky.social gathered health experts, small business owners, and Marketplace enrollees to discuss the importance of extending the ACA credits.

Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govDec 2(source)

Republicans have had over 15 years to come up with a health care plan. They need to get serious and work with Democrats to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits to lower health care costs for working families.
