Some families in our communities could see their health premiums rise by $1,500 a month, $18,000 a year, if Republicans refuse to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits.

I’m working to reopen the government, protect your health care, and prevent costs from skyrocketing.

Meet Tony. Tony depends on ACA tax credits to cover the cost of his cancer treatment.

Republicans are letting these tax credits expire.

House Democrats are fighting to save these tax credits so people like Tony can afford to receive the care they need.

Trump just cancelled $8B of energy projects to pressure Democrats to let him jack up health care costs.

And he didn't just cancel projects in Dem districts; he canceled them in R districts too. The difference is that Republicans are letting him use their constituents as pawns.

Here’s what’s real: Republicans control all three branches of government, and they’re the ones shutting it down.

Donald Trump and corrupt Republicans recklessly shut down the federal government.

And the American people know it.

Cancel the cuts. Lower the cost. Save Healthcare.

Trump and I agree that it’s the job of the president to get people in a room, make a deal, and end the shutdown.

Republicans may run from Washington, but they can't hide from this: health care premiums will MORE THAN DOUBLE next year if they refuse to act.

1. On November 1, 22 million Americans will see their health care premiums increase unless Republicans agree to extend Obamacare tax credits. (More than 125,000 people in #TX07 rely on these tax credits to make their health insurance more affordable.)

Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans are happy to let the government shut down and let you pay more for health care.

Their plan will double ACA marketplace premiums if they refuse to extend the assistance millions of Americans rely on to afford their health care.

The uncomplicated math of reopening the government:

CR + healthcare = deal

The president should be able to get this deal done easily.

Take it from Philippa: She would be bankrupt without the Affordable Care Act helping her afford her cancer treatment.

How can President Trump and Congressional Republicans want to take that away?

John Thune needs a reality check: Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill is already forcing hospitals and community health centers around the nation to close.

They cannot be trusted with your health care.

Republicans: Extending tax breaks for billionaires that are already in law is actually free.

Also Republicans: Extending tax credits to keep health care costs down for middle-class Americans that are already in law is too expensive.

Since Republicans are on vacation, here are some things they can do with their free time:
- Explain why they prioritized raising health care costs
- Tell any federal workers they encounter why they won't be getting paychecks
- Get back to DC to keep the government open

Trump is shutting down the government tonight.

The Speaker didn’t even have House Republicans come to DC this week. But we’re here and want a deal - to fund the government and protect your healthcare.

With only hours to go until government funding runs out, Republicans are on vacation, making clear that they would rather shut down the government than work with Democrats to stop health care premiums from skyrocketing.
