Millions and millions of American families are seeing their health insurance
costs go up by thousands (or even tens of thousands) of dollars.*

That’s because Republicans in Congress allowed subsidies that were part of the
Affordable Care Act (a.k.a. Obamacare) — and that helped millions pay for their
insurance — to expire.

Meanwhile, the Trump regime “rang in” the New Year by invading another country
and launching America into yet another stupid, illegal, and expensive war over
foreign oil. It may benefit a handful of fossil fuel companies, but it does
exactly zilch to help everyday Americans pay for basic necessities.

Despite Trump’s utter disregard for skyrocketing health costs — or anything else
related to affordability, which he seems to think is a word that literally
didn’t exist until a few months ago — a bill has been introduced in Congress to
restore the Affordable Care Act subsidies for at least three more years.

The bill is moving through the U.S. House of Representatives, with critical
votes expected as early as Wednesday and Thursday this week.

The American people simply cannot afford even higher health insurance premiums.
While Donald Trump is sinking America into another ill-conceived and wasteful
war over foreign oil, you can actually help everyday Americans by restoring the
Affordable Care Act subsidies. Vote to bring the proposal to the floor and vote
to pass it. [[link removed]]

Take action even if your representative seems to be in favor of jacking up the
price of health insurance — they should at least have to hear from their
constituents. [[link removed]]

Thanks for taking action.

*Of course, healthcare costs in America are already shockingly and unnecessarily
high, as the United States remains the sole wealthy nation that still doesn’t
guarantee coverage for its citizens and instead allows healthcare to be a
privatized, for-profit enterprise.
