Last week, the U.S. House voted on legislation to restore Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies that expired at the end of 2025. It passed with a sizable majority, with 17 Republicans joining Democrats in supporting it. It’s clear that this commonsense and necessary assistance for working families has broad support.

But the Senate already rejected a similar bill, and even if they reach a compromise, President Trump just said he may veto it.

Meanwhile, enrollment in ACA health care plans has already dropped by 1.4 million people in 2026 thanks to skyrocketing prices, and that number is likely to grow.

But at the end of the day, while extending ACA subsidies would help, it would only be a band-aid on our out-of-control health care crisis. The real solution in this moment is to replace our for-profit system with Medicare for All.

Increasingly, both politicians and working-class people across the country are recognizing the urgency of winning Medicare for All, and that this is our moment for a bold solution.

We’re hosting our first Medicare for All National Strategy Call of 2026 on January 28th at 5pm PT / 8pm ET to build on the growing demand for a universal, single-payer health care system and discuss how we make the most of this moment. RSVP now to join!
