Senate Republicans can change their mind and lower monthly costs for 22 million Americans any time.
All they have to do is vote for the bipartisan extension that already passed in the House.
Every day they delay means working families are paying more and getting less care.

Open Enrollment ends today in most states.
That means the GOP has locked millions of working folks into higher bills or forced them to lose healthcare.
They chose tax cuts for insurance CEOs and Big Pharma over ACA tax credits that help working families afford healthcare.

Co-pays. Prescriptions. Expensive medical treatments.
Americans are already paying an arm and a leg for healthcare even WITH insurance.
Eliminating zero-dollar premiums won't fight fraud, but it will hike rates for 11 million Americans.
@democrats.senate.gov shouldn't fall for it.

But for millions of people like @repemilyrandall.bsky.social's

If Congress doesn't extend the ACA tax credits, more labor & delivery units will close. More rural hospitals will close. Moms and babies will pay the price.

Our representatives should vote for Iowans, not billionaires | Opinion
The four Iowans in the U.S. House so far have showed little concern about soaring premiums for their constituents, writes Jenny Turner.
While billionaires are buying yachts, families like Jenny's are worrying about how they'll pay for their kids to see a doctor.
Today, Iowa's lawmakers will show who they fight for: billionaire donors or working families.

And that's because the GOP committed a healthcare heist. But we're not standing for it.

Thanks to the Senate GOP, monthly healthcare bills will double or even triple for millions of people on January 1st.

Extending ACA tax credits would:
π΅ Stop monthly healthcare costs from doubling or even TRIPLING for 22 million people on Jan. 1
π©Ί Make sure folks can still see a doctor without going into debt
