Friend,

Blue Cross call center volumes have “exploded” because Michigan families are experiencing unprecedented sticker shock as Affordable Care Act (ACA) premiums skyrocket.

This is not an accident. It’s the direct result of GOP-backed health care cuts pushed by Mike Rogers and Republicans in Congress.

Nearly half a million Michiganders are now facing crushing premium hikes because Republicans refused to extend ACA subsidies. Families across the state are scrambling to figure out how they’ll afford coverage next year, and call centers are overwhelmed because people are terrified they’re about to lose their health care.

And while all this is happening?

Mike Rogers is cheering these cuts on, John James is doubling down on repealing ACA protections, and Republicans are blocking every attempt to lower costs for working families.

Michigan Democrats are fighting back. We’re organizing across the state to stop Trump's agenda in U.S. Congress, take back control of our state legislature, and elect a Democratic Governor who will protect access to affordable health care. But to build the infrastructure we need for 2026, we must keep growing our grassroots program today.

Will you chip in right now to help Michigan Democrats fight back against the Republicans who caused this health care crisis? Your grassroots dollars will go directly to knocking doors, staffing offices, training volunteers, and making sure every voter knows exactly who is responsible for these skyrocketing premiums.

Republicans chose billionaire tax breaks over your health care.

Michigan Democrats will continue to choose working families, every single time.

Let’s keep building the movement that will defeat Republicans and the MAGA agenda in 2026.

Onward,

Curtis Hertel
Chair, Michigan Democratic Party
