β€œNo one should have to go hungry. Especially not in California, and especially not in the United States.” Our CA Campaigns Director MΓ³nica Lazo spoke with Telemundo 33 in Sacramento this week while advocating alongside the #ProsperCA Coalition for leaders to expand the Young #ChildTaxCredit.

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.

Nobody should have to consider selling their house to afford healthcare.

But for millions of people like @repemilyrandall.bsky.social's
constituent, that's the reality without ACA tax credits.

Open enrollment ends in 2 days. The clock is ticking for the Senate to pass a 3-year extension.

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.

We must stop the #HealthcareHeist.

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.

Iowa's GOP representatives voted to gut your healthcare so that health insurance CEOs and big Pharma can get a giant tax cut.

Luckily, they can start fixing their mistake today.

Step 1: extend the ACA credits

Republicans cut over $1 trillion from healthcare to give health insurance execs and Big Pharma giant tax cuts.

But the GOP can choose to fight for working families instead of billionaires anytime.

Step 1: Extend the ACA tax credits TODAY.

Republicans cut over $1 trillion from healthcare to give their billionaire donors a giant tax cut.

The result? Higher costs, worse care.

Luckily, they've got a chance to start fixing that mistake.

Urge your GOP reps to vote YES on a 3-year extension today!

Republicans are talking a big game about affordability lately, but talk is cheap, and healthcare isn't.

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

It's too late to stop much of the damage from Republicans' disastrous choice to let ACA costs double or even triple, but Congress has one last chance to stem the bleeding.

Call your House Reps. and tell them to vote YES on a 3-year ACA tax credit extension.

It's 2026, and healthcare costs for over 22 million people have officially gone through the roof - all thanks to Republicans.

It's not fair, it's not right, and we're not going to stand for it.

Republicans are talking a big game when it comes to "affordability" lately, but they just blew their biggest chance to actually do something about it.

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

Alaska lawmakers talk a lot about supporting small business owners.

But it's time to put their money where their mouth is.

Congress must extend ACA tax credits THIS WEEK to stop healthcare costs from skyrocketing on Jan 1.

A few weeks ago, Iowans visited Sen. Ernst's office to plead with her to stop the #healthcareheist.

This summer, Sen. Ernst voted to gut Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act to give billionaires over $1 trillion in tax cuts.

That means higher bills and coverage losses for working Iowans.

Republicans still have a chance to fix the healthcare crisis they created when they passed their big, ugly tax law. But time is running out.

They're paying lip service to affordability while they dither and delay, but Americans can't wait.

It's time to extend the ACA tax credits now.

Republicans have a chance, right now, right in front of them, to do something about the affordability crisis and show hardworking Americans that they're fighting for them.

But they're not doing it because they're too busy fighting for their billionaire donors instead.

Extending ACA tax credits would:

πŸ’΅ Stop monthly healthcare costs from doubling or even TRIPLING for 22 million people on Jan. 1
🩺 Make sure folks can still see a doctor without going into debt
πŸ“ˆ Save jobs in communities that need them - especially rural ones.

So why aren't Republicans doing it?

Republicans are talking about "affordability" a lot more lately. But without action to give Americans some relief from skyrocketing bills, that's just a word.

Republicans could act TODAY to cut costs for working families, boost the economy, and improve public health. So far, they're doing nothing.

We visited Capitol Hill with Lauren, a small business owner, proud Pennsylvanian, and ACA recipient.

Lauren pleaded with her GOP reps to help hardworking Americans like her, and extend ACA tax credits that help her afford healthcare.

They claimed to care. But talk is cheap, and healthcare isn't.
