John, I deeply understand the struggles working families in Southwest Washington face – because I’ve faced them myself.
Before I was elected to Congress, my husband Dean and I could only afford health insurance for our son, because the additional $1200 a month to cover ourselves was simply out of our budget.
Programs like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) have allowed millions of Americans to obtain health insurance and care they previously couldn’t afford.
But because partisan extremists allowed ACA premium tax credits to expire,
thousands of Washingtonians will soon be forced to pay an average of 21% more per month for the same health care coverage they’re already getting.
That’s just not feasible for most families and small businesses, John – especially when the cost of living is already sky-high and Americans everywhere are struggling to make ends meet.
I’m working to find bipartisan solutions to prevent the rug from being pulled out from underneath hardworking families. If you agree that everyone deserves access to affordable, quality health care, add your name here:
I won’t stop fighting to expand access and lower costs for rural communities, veterans, and working families across Southwest Washington, not now, not ever.
Thanks for standing with me.
Marie
