ACTION ALERT

In December, House Democrats were joined by 4 Republicans in passing a discharge petition to bring a clean three-year extension of the enhanced premium tax credits to the floor. The House could vote on this bill as soon as today. It is unclear whether enough Republicans will vote for the bill to pass the House, or if they will coalesce around a more conservative bill supported by House Republican leadership.

Ahead of this vote, we urge you to take part in the Stop the Healthcare Heist Week of Action that the Economic Security Project is coordinating with other national groups, including Families USA. The ways you can get involved include:

Before the vote (Jan 6 - Jan 8) - Public pressure and storytelling
- Call your members by calling in to the Capitol Switchboard and requesting your member at (202) 224-3121
- Email your members using CHN Action's form!
Day of the vote (Jan 8) - Social media day of action
- Tag your member
- Use #HealthcareHeist
- Use graphics supplied by Economic Security Project
After the vote - Public feedback and more organized actions
- Continue to thank those who championed affordability and call out those who voted against it
- Should House vote pass, shift focus to your Senators
  - Email using CHN Action's form
  - Call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121

You can find the full toolkit, talking points, and graphics at this link. You can also find Families USA's recent blog What Health Care Consumers Need to Know About ACA Marketplace Coverage for 2026 here, which you can and should use during your advocacy! Please reach out to Anna Aurilio ([email protected]) with any questions about the week of action.
