Obamacare Users Will Be Asked to Pay More for Plans That Cover Less
The NYT report confirms what Central Kentucky families already know: premiums and deductibles keep rising while care gets harder to reach. Thatβs the cost of leaders who protect corporations over people.

36Β° and weβre still knocking. βοΈπ
We got to talk with voters where they are. Listening to concerns, sharing our message, and earning every vote.
Proud of this hardworking team. Mountain Democrats show up. Always.

One Democrat's plan to bring back rural voters
Itβs an approach that fits squarely into Democratsβ attempts to retool their economic messaging.
Dems have a rural voter problem. KY-06 hopeful @cherlynnforky.bsky.social is offering a model for her party to help fix it.
Inside her "Mountain Democrat" rebrand and how she's trying to reach rural, working-class voters who feel forsaken by Dems www.politico.com/newsletters/... @politico.com

βIβm hopeful that the authenticity that we talk about as being a loyal βMountain Democratβ and having that grit that we need to fight for our people can shine through,β @cherlynnforky.bsky.social tells @politico.com.

I love Kentucky!

This decision is a huge relief for millions of Americans. Love is love, and no court should ever stand in the way of two people building a life together.
Today, we celebrate progress, equality, and the ongoing fight to ensure every Kentuckian can live and love freely. π

Millions of Americans are losing access to healthcare and food. Theyβre going to fall behind on their rent and utility bills so that Washington can give tax breaks to the wealthy few.
We need a fighter for working people, not the millionaire class. Iβm ready to stand up for us.

My husband, Chris, and I reviewed our healthcare plan. Our premiums are set to rise by 17%. Families across Central Kentucky are seeing the same thing.
Iβll keep fighting to make sure affordable, quality coverage isnβt a luxury. Itβs a guarantee.

Tomorrow, millions will face sticker shock because Republicans in Congress won't keep premiums affordable.
Health care shouldnβt depend on Washingtonβs dysfunction. Kentuckians deserve stability, not shutdowns.

We must meet this hate with courage, by showing up, speaking out, and standing together for the dignity and safety of every Kentuckian.
Hate will never define who we are. Love, unity, and common sense will.

The KKK and groups like them peddle fear and division because they know they canβt win on decency or truth. Their time has passed, and the rest of us have a responsibility to make sure it stays that way.
