I applaud President Biden for his executive action earlier this week to fix a loophole in the Affordable Care Act. This action will make health insurance coverage affordable for 1 million more Americans that were previously left out of the cost savings of the ACA Marketplace.
I’m proud to say that the Congressional Progressive Caucus called for this action from the President shortly after his State of the Union address. It was one of our foremost asks of the White House, because we know so many middle class and low income folks are struggling to pay their bills and get health coverage.
We know this isn’t enough. Which is why we need to keep expanding coverage and cost savings to more people, all while we push for Medicare for All. I will not stop my advocacy for immediate wins for working people AND transformative policies to guarantee health care for all.
This executive action will have a particular impact for women and children, many of whom have been effectively locked out of the ACA marketplace before this loophole was fixed. With costs on the rise and corporations continuing to squeeze working families, actions like today’s are exactly what we need from President Biden to provide immediate, tangible economic relief.
As we continue the fight for Medicare For All — because health care is a right, not a privilege — this is an important step that will ensure millions more get care they need now.
If you can chip in to help me continue my advocacy for Medicare for All, please contribute today.
I hope the President will next answer our call to use his executive action power to lower prescription drugs for millions of people.
In solidarity,
Pramila
