In order to prevent marketplace premiums from skyrocketing for more than 20 million people in 2026, we are fighting to extend the Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies that are currently set to expire at the end of the year.

Now, the Senate needs to act before it’s too late. As of today, there are only 9 days left in the legislative session, and there is a bill in the Senate that will extend the ACA subsidies for the next 3 years.

Nurses demand that Congress put our patients first and vote in support of S.3385 to extend the ACA subsidies and prevent needless suffering.

Call your senator at 202-946-1471 and demand they vote yes on Senate Bill 3385 NOW!

Here's a short script you can follow:

“Hi, my name is _______. I am a constituent and I’m a nurse/other health care worker/patient. I’m calling today to urge my senator to vote YES on S.3385 to extend the ACA tax credits for three years. Come January 1st, more than 20 million Americans will face the choice of significantly higher health care costs or to go uninsured. In fact 1 in 4 people who get their coverage on the ACA marketplace reported they are likely to go without coverage if the subsidies are not extended. I urge my senator to vote YES on S. 3385 to extend the ACA subsidies and prevent needless suffering. Thank you.”

We know that Medicare for All is the long term solution to our health care crisis, which will replace our broken, for-profit health care system with a single-payer health care system that would end health disparities, effectively control costs, and assure that everyone has equal ability to receive an excellent standard of care as a human right. But we also know that fighting to extend these ACA subsidies in the short term is critical for the tens of millions of people that rely on them.

The Senate is scheduled to vote tomorrow on this bill. Let's flood our representatives’ phone lines and demand they do what it takes to save the health care of tens of millions of people.

In solidarity,

National Nurses United
