Dear friend, it’s your Congresswoman, Gwen Moore. Earlier this month, I shared what could happen if conservatives in Congress don’t renew Affordable Care Act (ACA) enhanced premium tax credits. These credits make health care plans more affordable through the ACA for low- and middle-income Americans and have led to record levels of enrollment, benefiting 24 million people last year.
But without action from the conservative majority Congress, health insurance costs will skyrocket for millions of people, including many of my constituents. That’s why I am in Washington, D.C this week even though the House is in recess even with a looming government shutdown.
Not only did the conservatives’ Big Beautiful Bill not include an extension of these ACA credits despite efforts by my colleagues and me to include such a provision, but it made steep cuts to BadgerCare that will slash care for thousands of Wisconsinites. These attacks on health care are real and with ACA open enrollment starting on November 1st, the higher premiums will start to impact individuals and families soon.
I am fighting to prevent a government shutdown, but we can’t let the conservatives continue to gut health care or allow steep rise in health care costs for so many Americans, including my constituents. I call on my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to work with us to keep the government open and to protect access to affordable health care.
