3, 2, 1… Happy (almost) new year, Friend!
It’s been a tough year, and now the countdown is on as we prepare to close out 2025. So we’re coming together to go into 2026 informed, empowered, and well-prepared, especially as it pertains to the fight to protect our health care!
We’ve been hearing a lot of questions about the health care policy fights in the past few months, and our final Community Zoom meeting will help us make sense of it all. Republican leaders in Congress recently pushed through a major spending bill that cut over $1 trillion from Medicaid. On top of that, Republican leaders in Congress are failing to extend the enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits that millions of people have relied on to keep their coverage affordable. Without those enhanced credits in place, millions of families are entering open enrollment for the ACA with sticker shock and heavy uncertainty about what they will be able to afford. Health care costs could go up more than 70%.
During our Community Zoom, we are grateful to be joined by Angela Cobian from Planned Parenthood, who will walk us through how the recent federal health care policy-- like the HR1/Big Beautiful (read: ugly) Bill—is already affecting patient access, what health centers have been experiencing on-the-ground, and the actions we can take together to support care for our communities.
We will also hear from Marilyn Cabrera from Young Invincibles, who will break down the possible looming expiration of the ACA enhanced tax credits, what it could mean for health care affordability for millions of people, where things currently stand, and what Congress can do to protect access to affordable coverage.
In sum, there’s a lot to talk about as we prepare to enter the new year! We’re in this together.
