Happy National Public Health Week!
This year’s theme is We Are All Public Health , a call to action that reflects Lauren’s deep commitment to health care affordability and accessibility for all and addressing health disparities.
It takes all of us — including this grassroots team, that includes you, John — to create real change. From ensuring our communities have access to clean drinking water, to lowering prohibitive health care costs and advancing solutions to the climate crisis, it’s our responsibility to take action.
When it comes to health care, it’s clear to see how crucial it is that we take back the House in November. For anyone weighing who should take the helm in Congress, we put together a pros and cons list:
Pros
 * 
   House
   Democrats
   are
   working
   tooth
   and
   nail
   to
   expand
   Medicare
   and
   lower
   health
   care
   costs
   across
   the
   board.
 * 
   A
   record-breaking
   21.3
   million
   people
   signed
   up
   for
   health
   care
   under
   the
   ACA
   during
   the
   2023-2024
   Open
   Enrollment
   Season.
 * 
   Lauren’s 
   Health
   Care
   Affordability
   Act 
   made
   it
   possible
   for
   four
   out
   of
   five
   Americans
   to
   find
   a
   plan
   for
   less
   than
   $10
   a
   month.
 * 
   Democrats
   are
   working
   to
   protect
   abortion
   access,
   including
   supporting
   ballot
   initiatives
   in
   their
   home
   states.
 * 
   Lauren’s
   groundbreaking
   work
   has
   brought
   recognition
   and
   funding
   for
   maternal
   health
   for
   underserved
   and
   vulnerable
   groups,
   including
   veterans
   and
   Black
   moms.
Cons
 * 
   Republicans,
   including
   Lauren’s
   extreme
   opponent,
   are
   still
   scheming
   to
   repeal
   the 
   Affordable
   Care
   Act 
   no
   matter
   the
   impact
   to
   their
   constituents’
   health
   and
   livelihoods.
 * 
   House
   Republicans
   just
   released
   their
   extreme
   budget
   that
   would
   rip
   away
   coverage
   from
   millions
   of
   Americans
   and
   help
   Big
   Pharma’s
   price
   gouging.
 * 
   If
   Republicans
   have
   their
   way,
   over
   100
   million
   people
   with
   pre-existing
   conditions
   could
   face
   denial
   of
   coverage
   or
   higher
   costs.
 * 
   They
   want
   to
   slash
   Medicare
   and
   Social
   Security,
   cutting
   health
   care
   access
   and
   benefits
   that
   Americans
   worked
   hard
   for
   and
   earned.
 * 
   Even
   after
   the
   overturning
   of 
   Roe
   v.
   Wade 
   ,
   the
   GOP
   wants
   to
   further
   erode
   abortion
   access
   and
   criminalize
   abortion
   providers
   and
   patients,
Expanding access to critical health care is what drove Lauren to Congress and she is now working to open the door for millions more Americans to gain coverage. But she can’t do that if she’s not reelected and if Republicans hold the majority.
Will you chip in now to keep Lauren’s seat and flip the House so we can expand health care access to more Americans?

Each day, Lauren and her Democratic colleagues in Congress champion measures that would expand access to care and fund the crucial programs our communities need to thrive. But they can’t do it without you, John.
Thank you for supporting Lauren’s vision for health care for all.
