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.
