John, Mainers aren't asking for anything outlandish here:

We want to be able to see the doctor when we need to. We want to be able to stay healthy. And we don't want to get crushed by high costs.

But Republican politicians are trying to make that impossible. Susan Collins greenlit GOP cuts to Medicaid funding, and she and Washington Republicans are refusing to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits thousands of Mainers rely on to afford insurance — all while granting tax breaks for the ultra-rich.

Will you rush a donation of $10 or any amount to help fire Susan Collins and elect leaders who actually work for Maine families?

Thanks to GOP attacks on health care and their refusal to extend ACA tax credits, more than 50,000 Mainers are at risk of seeing their premiums skyrocket:

• Typical costs could double

• Thousands could pay over $900 more a month

• Some families could see rates increase by 412%

This crisis falls squarely on Susan Collins' shoulders.

All over our state, Mainers have shared how the upcoming cost hikes will be devastating for their lives and their livelihoods.

Mainers are crying out for a solution. But Collins isn't listening. She's refused to lift a finger to clean up the mess she's making of people's lives. And GOP candidates for governor are showing they will be no different.

But we demand action from our leaders, and we're ready to elect Democrats who will actually bring down costs and expand coverage.

If you're on board, chip in to make it happen.

Thank you, John.
