John,

Late last week, thanks to your advocacy, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a three-year extension of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium tax credits, which have been keeping health insurance more affordable for tens of millions of people.

Now it’s the Senate’s turn to act. And with 17 Republicans joining all Democrats in passing this extension through the House, we could have the momentum needed to overcome a filibuster and pass this extension in the Senate.

Add your name to demand the Senate extend the ACA subsidies and prevent a massive spike in out-of-pocket healthcare costs for working people and families.

If you get health insurance from your state’s exchange, you’re getting healthcare through the Affordable Care Act—and you’ve likely seen the cost of your monthly premium go up, because my Republican colleagues in Congress refused to vote by the end of last year to continue the subsidies.

Note: You can still get healthcare coverage through the Affordable Care Act’s marketplace in your state, if you apply by January 15, this Thursday. That’s the last day to enroll in or change health insurance plans, for insurance coverage that begins February 1. If you don’t have insurance and want to see how much it might cost, this open enrollment period is the time to do that.

After January 15 and until October 31, you can apply for your state’s healthcare exchange only if you qualify for special enrollment because of a life event—such as having a new baby or a new dependment, moving, losing health coverage, or getting married. If you qualify for Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), you can apply for coverage through those programs anytime.

Congress has the ability to keep healthcare more affordable, and it’s what the majority of Americans want.

Add your name now to demand the Senate follow the House’s lead and renew the ACA subsidies that have been keeping healthcare more affordable for tens of millions of people.

Thank you for taking action today,

Rashida

Subject: Demand Congress invest in healthcare, not tax cuts for billionaires and mass deportation

John,

Trump and Republicans continue to find more money for illegal wars and an immoral mass deportation scheme that is tearing families apart while the costs Americans pay for food, housing, and healthcare continue to rise.

Starting January 1st, monthly out-of-pocket health insurance premiums more than doubled for tens of millions of people on the Affordable Care Act health insurance exchange. As a result, an anticipated four million people will lose their healthcare as they’re forced to choose between putting food on the table and keeping their health insurance.

But now, House Democrats have succeeded in gathering enough signatures to force a vote to renew the Affordable Care Act tax credits that have been keeping health insurance more affordable for tens of millions of people.

Add your name to demand Congress renew the ACA subsidies and keep healthcare more affordable for working people and families. We need both the House and Senate to act now.

In my home state of Michigan, nearly half a million people are impacted, with families and older households being impacted the most.

For example, while a single 45-year-old earning $62,000 who gets their health insurance through the ACA exchange will pay roughly $1,470 in higher health insurance premiums this year, a 60-year-old couple earning $82,000 will see their health insurance costs rise by $18,400 while a family of four earning $126,000 will see an $8,400 increase this year.

Republicans have handed trillions of dollars in tax cuts to the rich and corporations. Trump continues to illegally withhold from states millions of dollars that have been appropriated by Congress. They made the largest cuts to Medicaid and SNAP in the programs’ histories. And they’re saying we can’t afford to make healthcare more affordable for tens of millions of people? That’s an outrage.

Add your name now to demand Congress renew the ACA premium tax credits to keep healthcare more affordable for tens of millions of people.

Together, we’re demanding Congress invest in people, not tax cuts for billionaires and an immoral mass deportation scheme.

In solidarity,

Rashida
