John,

Although Congress voted last month to end the longest shutdown in U.S. history, millions will lose affordable health care unless Congress restores the ACA tax credits.  These tax credits are what keep health insurance affordable for our communities. The Senate is set to vote this week to restore the tax credits making health insurance more affordable. However, if they don’t vote yes, premiums could double, forcing people to skip medications, delay care, or lose coverage entirely.

Democrats held the line during the government shutdown for 43 days to fight to secure these protections. But a small group of Democrats in the Senate failed to help Black families and caved with only a promise for a vote, securing no real gains for everyday Americans. 

Color Of Change is always committed to organizing the pressure against Congress and not just observing it. With a vote expected this week in the Senate, it’s time to hold Congress accountable and make sure they vote for and approve the ACA tax credits for our communities.  

 

Without these tax credits, Black communities will pay the highest price.

Nearly 1.8 million Black and Hispanic people could lose coverage.

More than 56% of Black adults already carry medical debt, and losing these tax credits, combined with cuts from the One Big Ugly Bill, will deepen the crisis.

We cannot allow Congress to walk away from Black communities again. Call your Senators, and tell them that they must vote for the life-saving ACA tax credits.
