Dear Friend,

These days, it seems like the cost of everything is going up—from the
grocery store to the gas pump. The last thing people can afford right now
is more expensive health care.

[ [link removed] ]Take action NOW by writing a letter to the editor to tell Republican
leaders in Congress: Stop the health care heist! *Don’t stress, we’ll make
it easy! We’ll give you a draft letter and all the talking points you
need!

What’s happening? Trump and Republican leaders in Congress have created a
health care emergency that they’re now refusing to address. When
Republicans cut $1 trillion from health care programs this summer, they
robbed health care from over 15 million people. [1] Now, the Affordable
Care Act’s enhanced premium tax credits—which help 24 million people
afford health care—are also under threat, putting affordable health care
at even greater risk. [ [link removed] ]

While families brace for rising health care costs, Trump, Republicans in
Congress, and their billionaire besties have prioritized millions of
dollars in funding for a gilded ballroom at the White House, tax breaks
for billionaires, and private jets for Secretary of Homeland Security
Kristi Noem. [ [link removed] ] [ [link removed] ] As they slash funding for health care, Trump and
Republicans in Congress have poured funding into separating families,
committing human rights abuses, and detaining immigrants—people essential
to our care workforce, our economy and our future. American families need
health care, not lavish luxuries for people who are already wealthy, and
not cruelty on the taxpayer dime.

Instead of addressing the Republican-manufactured health care crisis and
delivering essential funding to lifesaving health care programs,
Republican leaders in Congress have doubled down on these cuts, even
shutting down the government out of unwillingness to negotiate. In fact,
Republican leaders have sent members of Congress on vacation, at the same
time as Trump is overseas—all while health care costs climb and coverage
remains at risk. We have to hold Trump and Republicans in Congress
accountable for their twisted priorities that directly attack American
families while giving handouts to billionaires. 

*We know that lawmakers read their local newspapers to see what is on the
minds of the people in their districts, that’s why it’s critical for you
to take action now and submit a letter to the editor to stop the health
care heist!

This is a critical moment to come together in support of health care: open
enrollment, the period when people sign up for health care for 2026,
starts November 1. When millions of people log on to the ACA Marketplace
to start shopping for their next plan, many will be shocked to learn that
their health insurance costs have skyrocketed—doubling or, in some cases,
tripling! Some will find the costs unaffordable and drop their insurance
altogether, while others will be forced to make painful choices about how
to pay for care.

At the same time, our movement to protect health care is gaining momentum
AND has public opinion on our side. When people learn about the damage
that Trump and Republicans are inflicting, Americans broadly favor
protecting health care. [ [link removed] ] It’s up to us to inform our communities about
the rising cost of health care and Democrats’ fight to defend care. We
must call on lawmakers to reopen the government and call out Republicans
who are making things worse and prolonging the shutdown by going on
vacation.

The pre-drafted letter (which you can edit and add your own thoughts and
story to when you click the link) simply says:

With the cost of everything from housing to utility bills to groceries
going up, the last thing America’s families can afford is more expensive
health care. But when open enrollment starts November 1st, millions of
families are about to learn that their health care costs have surged. 

We’re in a health care emergency that is a result of policy choices made
by Republican leaders in Congress. Over the summer, Trump and Republicans
in Congress slashed over $1 trillion from Medicaid, terminating coverage
for 15 million people. Now, they are cutting tax credits that lower health
care costs for millions of working families, and 24 million of us are
facing skyrocketing health care premiums. 

Instead of working to lower health care prices, Republicans in Congress
have doubled down, shuttering the government because they are unwilling to
negotiate to stop these cuts. While families brace for rising costs and
lack of care, Trump, Republicans in Congress, and their billionaire
besties have prioritized millions of dollars in funding for a gilded
ballroom at the White House, tax breaks for the wealthy, and private jets
for Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. As they slash funding for
health care, Trump and Republicans in Congress have poured funding into
separating families, committing human rights abuses, and terrifying
hardworking immigrants—people essential to our health care workforce, our
economy, and our future. This is nothing short of a health care heist and
a betrayal of American families. 

Congress has a clear path to prevent this health care crisis by restoring
health care funding, making the ACA tax credits permanent, and ending the
government shutdown. It’s time for Republican leaders in Congress to work
together to stop the health care heist and make sure prices don’t go up
even more.
