John,

Congressional Republicans have made their priorities clear. In July, they passed their Big Budget Betrayal, which handed trillions of dollars in tax cuts to the rich and corporations, while refusing to renew tax credits that have been keeping health insurance more affordable for tens of millions of working people.

Now, those tax credits are set to expire at the end of this month. And while the Senate is expected to vote next week on renewing those Affordable Care Act premium tax credits, Speaker Johnson is refusing to hold a vote in the House.

That’s why I’ve signed the discharge petition in an attempt to force a vote. And we only need 4 more representatives to join us.

Add your name to demand the House vote to renew the enhanced ACA premium tax credits before they expire at the end of this month, and keep healthcare costs within reach for millions of Americans.

If you need health insurance starting January 1st, you must apply on your state’s ACA exchange by December 15th. If you need health insurance by February 1st, you have until January 15th to apply.

Either way, it is urgent that Congress act now.

Together, we’re demanding my Republican colleagues join Democrats in addressing healthcare affordability.

Thank you for taking action today,

Rashida

John,

Enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies have been keeping healthcare more affordable for tens of millions of people. And with these subsidies, people living below the federal poverty line of $15,650 are able to access silver-level health insurance plans with $0 monthly premiums.

But these subsidies are about to go away unless Congress acts.

That’s why I’ve signed a discharge petition to try and force a vote in the House on a renewal of these ACA tax credits. 214 of my colleagues have signed, meaning we need only 4 more signatures to force Speaker Johnson to hold a vote.

With open enrollment ending December 15 for a January 1 health insurance start date (and January 15 for a February start date), the time for Congress to act is NOW.

Add your name to demand an immediate vote in the House to renew the enhanced ACA premium tax credits—and help keep health insurance affordable for tens of millions of Americans.

In the Senate, a vote is expected next week. But no such promise exists in the House. We need just a handful of my Republican colleagues to join Democrats in forcing a vote.

If no vote is taken, these subsidies will expire on December 31st, and the out-of-pocket health insurance costs for tens of millions of people will more than double.

Already, people are seeing their costs increase during the current enrollment period, which is discouraging many Americans from signing up for health insurance. Because of Congress’ inaction on this, some insurance companies have pulled out of the Affordable Care Act marketplace.

Clearly, our for-profit healthcare system isn’t working. While I will continue fighting for Medicare for All to ensure healthcare as a human right, this vote is critical right now.

Twenty-four million people get their healthcare through the ACA exchange. Over 90% use these tax credits to keep healthcare more affordable. If these tax credits are allowed to expire, millions will have to make impossible decisions between keeping their health insurance and affording other necessities such as food and housing.

Millions will be forced to go without health insurance altogether.

Add your name to demand the House hold a vote right now on the expiring tax credits that have been keeping health insurance more affordable for tens of millions of people.

Together, we will not stop fighting for the human right to healthcare.

In solidarity,

Rashida
