Most people can’t sign up for health care coverage whenever they want. Open enrollment is the set time each year to enroll or make changes. If you miss the window, you may be stuck without coverage until the next cycle. #HealthCareCoverage #KnowYourCoverage

The U.S. spends more per person on health care than any other wealthy country, without better results. Universal systems keep costs down by cutting administrative waste and focusing on prevention. #HealthCareFacts #UniversalCoverage

When Congress expanded ACA tax credits in 2021, it helped more families save money on their monthly health insurance premiums. If that additional support ends, many middle-income families could struggle to afford coverage. Read more: buff.ly/1N98Nlt #HealthCareCosts #ACA #Marketplace #kynect

If you have #Medicare or a #MedicareAdvantage plan, it’s time to review your coverage. Open Enrollment for 2026 begins Oct. 15th. More changes are coming next year, including updates to prescription drug costs, deductibles, and new payment options. Learn more: buff.ly/kt30npf. #OpenEnrollment

Kentuckians who get health insurance through #kynect could see their costs more than double if enhanced premium tax credits expire. Unless Congress acts, premiums are likely to become unaffordable for many families. buff.ly/1N98Nlt #HealthCareCosts #ACA #Marketplace #Kentucky

A big chunk of what we pay for health care isn’t for care at all… it’s overhead and paperwork. Universal coverage could reduce the administrative costs that drive up the price of care.

When insurance companies second-guess doctors and nurses, patients suffer the consequences. Care that should prevent emergencies gets delayed until it becomes life-threatening. We need, and deserve, a system that puts patients first. #HealthCareStories #HealthInsurance

Premiums are the “membership fee” for your health plan. You and/or your employer pay them every month just to stay covered, no matter how much (or little) health care you receive. #HealthInsurance #KnowYourCoverage

Most Kentuckians with Marketplace coverage rely on enhanced premium tax credits to keep their costs manageable. If these expire at the end of the year, premiums could more than double for 2026. Read more: buff.ly/AW3oPvC

Some people think universal health care would take away choice. But in the U.S., many already have limited options. In many countries with universal care, people actually have a greater variety of choices. #HealthCareFacts #UniversalCoverage

More than 88,000 Kentuckians rely on kynect for commercial health insurance coverage. If enhanced Premium Tax Credits expire at the end of the year, costs could soar and make coverage unaffordable for many families. #ACA #Marketplace #PremiumTaxCredits #Kentucky #HealthInsurance

Borrowing money to pay for health care has become far too common in America. It’s a sign that our health care financing system isn’t protecting families the way it should. #HealthCareCosts #HealthCareFacts

Mental health care is often treated as optional in our system, and the high costs keep people from getting help. In countries with universal coverage, mental health is part of the package, not an extra. #MentalHealth #Universal Coverage #AllInAllInsured

It happens all too often: people do everything right in following treatment plans and asking about coverage, yet they still end up with crushing debt years later. Stories like this highlight how unpredictable coverage rules can derail financial stability.

One of the biggest frustrations in health care is getting a bill you never saw coming. Balance billing is an example of this problem. The way the U.S. healthcare system works, it is extremely difficult to budget for medical expenses. #HealthInsurance #KnowYourCoverage

When people hear “universal health care,” they often think only of higher taxes. But what’s missing from that picture is the tradeoff: families in other wealthy countries don’t face the same burden of premiums, deductibles, and surprise bills we do. #UniversalCoverage #AllInAllInsured

Nearly half of adults under 65 with Marketplace coverage are small business owners, employees of small businesses, or self-employed individuals. The #ACA has been especially important for people whose jobs don’t come with traditional health benefits. Read the full analysis: buff.ly/wQAKYrf

For many Americans, health care isn’t just a medical issue - it’s a financial one. Rising costs mean people are forced to delay doctor visits, skip prescriptions, and cut back on daily essentials… The Everyday Impact of Unaffordable Health Care

Health care costs force too many people to make impossible choices – skip the doctor’s visit, delay prescriptions, or cut back on basics like food and fuel. You deserve better. youtu.be/WUMwRBcKXn4 www.giveforgoodlouisville.org/organization...
