Tell Congress to Lower Health Care Costs Take action & tell Congress: lower health care costs by undoing the health care cuts they made in the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill.”

IT’S HERE! 🚨
Today AFSCME members in NJ and nationwide are taking action for affordable health care.

We’re standing up against cuts that threaten our hospitals, our jobs & our communities.

Health care is a right, not a privilege. ✊

Health care costs will skyrocket if Congress lets ACA premium tax credits expire. Millions could lose coverage while billionaires get more tax breaks. Join AFSCME’s Day of Action Sept. 25 to fight back. Sign up: afscmego.org#signup
