Friend –
Across the country, families are opening their health insurance bills and realizing they can no longer afford to stay covered.
Premiums have surged. Coverage is vanishing. People who once had a path to care are being priced out, pushed aside, or dropped altogether.
Add your name to demand Congress restore the ACA subsidies! >>
This crisis didn’t appear out of nowhere. Republicans in Congress let the expanded ACA subsidies expire at the end of 2025, knowing exactly what it would cost their constituents. Now, they are refusing to help fix the damage.
The consequences have been immediate and severe. Families who previously paid under $200 a month for marketplace coverage are now facing bills over $900. Middle-income households have seen their premiums double. People just above the eligibility cutoff are staring down annual costs close to $8,500 – just to keep the same care they had last year.[1]
For many, the choice has already been made for them: they are simply going without care.
Nearly five million people are projected to lose their health insurance altogether. More than seven million are expected to lose subsidized coverage. In eight states – including Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, and Louisiana – over half of those relying on subsidies may be pushed out of the system altogether.[2]
And still, Republicans refuse to act.
Democrats have a plan. The House is preparing to vote on it this week, so a strong vote is very important. Then we move on to the Senate where Republicans are refusing to join the effort to restore these critical subsidies, even as the crisis worsens by the day.
Republicans in the House must support the restoration of these critical subsidies when they vote this week. And we must send a message to Republicans in the Senate who refuse to move this measure that they are choosing to let this suffering continue. They are choosing higher premiums. They are choosing to push millions out of care. And they are doing it with full knowledge of the harm they are causing.
They must be held accountable.
In solidarity,
People For the American Way
