Dear Neighbor,
We are nearly 3 weeks into a government shutdown, and Republicans still refuse to come to the table to negotiate a bipartisan agreement that will reopen government while preventing massive increases to American's health premiums.
Republicans already slashed Medicaid in their Big Ugly Law. Now, they want to let Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium tax credits expire, which will mean higher premiums for tens of millions of Americans. In our district, a 60-year-old couple earning $82,800 per year will see their premiums rise by nearly 300%, to more than $2,000 per month.
Right now, families across the country are receiving notices of their premium increases. I have heard from countless constituents who rely on the ACA or Medicaid for their health coverage. I want to hear your story too.
Have you received a notice that your health care costs are rising? Let me know by clicking here or below to share your story.
If you or someone you know has questions about the government shutdown, please don’t hesitate to contact my office or visit my government shutdown resource page for more information.
