John,
24 million people.
That’s how many Americans are enrolled in the Affordable Care Act — and how many could lose access to affordable healthcare while Trump and his MAGA loyalists refuse to reopen the government.
Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson projected that the current shutdown could be the longest in history — and he won’t even consider negotiating.
Let that sink in: Trump and his MAGA allies are playing political games with people’s lives, with zero regard for who gets hurt.
If they get their way, millions who rely on the ACA could see their premiums skyrocket overnight. This isn’t just about extending these tax credits. It’s about not having to choose between putting food on the table and paying for insulin. It’s about being able to afford life-saving care.
And this isn’t new. Republicans tried this in 2013, shutting down the government in a failed attempt to repeal the ACA. In 2017, Trump tried again with his “repeal and replace” plan. Each time, millions of lives were at risk — and each time they failed because people like you stood up and fought back.
They won’t get away with it this time, either.
The Squad is holding the line on healthcare, and fighting back with every tool at our disposal. They’re in the halls of Congress, championing issues for working-class families, and refusing to back down — but they cannot do it without you.
In solidarity,
The Squad Victory Fund
