Dear Friend,
Republicans in Congress have proposed an impossible choice: Support their
partisan spending bill that continues to take away even more health care
from millions of Americans or risk a government shutdown—and figure it out
by tomorrow night.
[ [link removed] ]Quick Signature! Tell Republican leaders in Congress to stand up for
families and pass a funding bill by this Tuesday that will stop cuts to
health care, lower rising costs, and save health care. *When you click,

Republicans currently control the U.S. House, U.S. Senate, and the
Executive Branch—and right now, our country is in the midst of a health
care crisis that is only getting worse. This summer, Republicans in
Congress passed a Big, Ugly Budget Bill that slashes $1 trillion from
health care, stripping coverage for over 15 million people. [1] Hundreds
of hospitals, nursing homes and community-based health clinics will close
all across the country, particularly in rural America. [ [link removed] ]
Not only will people lose their health insurance altogether, but millions
more will be stuck paying much higher prices to keep their coverage. In
fact, 24 million Americans who rely on Affordable Care Act (ACA)
Marketplace coverage will soon face skyrocketing costs when enhanced tax
credits—an essential program that makes care affordable—expire at the end
of 2025. [ [link removed] ] On average, premiums could increase by more than 75 percent.

At the same time, Republicans in Congress are pushing budget cuts that
severely weaken our public health infrastructure. They have shut down
medical research—including critical research for children with cancer,
they are threatening vaccine availability, and they are slashing funding
for the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control.

It doesn’t have to be this way!

bill this week that reverses the cuts to our health care, keeps hospitals
open, lowers the rising costs weighing down Americans, and saves our
health care! *When you click, you’ll automatically sign on if we already

This is a big deal. Democrats in Congress have asked Republicans to work
together and negotiate a solution to avoid a government shutdown. Yet,
Republicans have only doubled down, threatening a shut down until
Democrats back their partisan plan to rip away health care from millions.
A government shutdown is not a negotiating tactic—it’s a real threat to
the livelihoods and wellbeing of millions of people, to our communities,
and to our economy. It will disrupt the jobs of millions of workers,
individuals, and businesses. [ [link removed] ] Federal employees’ paychecks will be
paused, at the same time as everyday costs are skyrocketing. People
navigating government services and benefits systems will face long wait
times or no assistance at all while trying to access services they are
entitled to receive. Essential government services may be stopped.
[3]Tell Republican leaders in Congress to pass a funding bill that
addresses our health care crisis and avoid a government shutdown.
We don’t need a spending bill that guts our health care systems; we need
one that keeps hospitals open, makes essential health care affordable and
accessible, and saves our health care system. We don’t need dramatic
increases in health care costs; we need the permanent renewal of ACA tax
credits to keep coverage within reach. We don’t need more attacks on
scientific research, including devastating cuts for childhood cancer
research; we need fully funded scientific institutions that can protect
our health and save lives.

Dear Member of Congress,
Our country is facing an urgent and worsening health care crisis that must
be addressed immediately in the Fiscal Year 2026 spending bill. Already,
as a result of the budget bill earlier this year, $1 trillion was cut from
health care, which will strip coverage from over 15 million people. As a
result, hundreds of hospitals, nursing homes and community-based health
clinics will close all across the country, including in rural America.
With the ACA enhanced premium tax credits set to expire at the end of the
year, 24 million Americans will soon face skyrocketing health care costs,
with premiums expected to increase by an average of 75 percent. So not
only will millions of people lose their health insurance altogether, but
millions more will be stuck paying sky-high prices to keep their coverage.
Families are also bracing for budget cuts that severely weaken our public
health infrastructure, shut down medical research—including critical
research for childhood cancer, threaten vaccine availability, and slash
funding for the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease
Control.
This is a betrayal of Americans and their families. Polls show bipartisan
support of health care access. Over 50,000 people will die from these
actions if not reversed. Families need a spending bill that keeps
hospitals open, makes essential health care affordable and accessible,
extends ACA premium tax credits, and fully funds scientific research and
institutions that can protect our health and save lives. We urge you to
avoid a government shutdown and pass a spending bill that will reverse the
damage of these devastating cuts to health care, lower rising costs, and
save our health care system.
The more people who speak out, the bigger our impact. Please take a moment
to share our [5]action link with your friends and family.
Together we are a powerful voice for families.
