Dear Friend,
Since October 1, the federal government has been shut down, and Speaker Mike Johnson hasn’t called Congress back into session since. That means critical services are disrupted and public servants are working without pay.
Now, families across South Jersey are beginning to receive notices of soaring healthcare premiums. This is because cost-saving healthcare tax credits will expire in December. In our congressional district, 24,000 people will see their healthcare costs rise if Congress does not act now.
Last week, I asked people in our district if they’ve received notices that their premiums are going up. Nearly half said yes. Of those:
- 63% of families said their monthly costs are increasing by more than $100 per month
- 25% of families are seeing increases of more than $500 per month
- And some are seeing increases of more than $1,000 per month
That’s outrageous. Families shouldn’t have to choose between paying for healthcare and putting food on the table. If Republicans don’t come back to Washington and get to work, working families pay the price.
I’m ready to work with anyone, Republican or Democrat, to reopen the government and lower healthcare costs.
Even during this shutdown, my office is open and ready to help you. Please visit the government shutdown resources webpage on my website for more information.
To keep up with the work I am doing as your representative, please subscribe to my newsletter, and follow me on Bluesky, Facebook, Twitter/X, and Instagram.
Sincerely,
Donald Norcross
Member of Congress
