Enrollment is down >800,000 from last year. This isn’t people “choosing less coverage.” It’s people getting priced out of the care they deserve.

Fewer small employees offer health coverage as premiums rise
“If health insurance premiums rise faster than wages and general inflation, small employers are likely to face intensified financial strain, which could accelerate the erosion of health plan sponsorship among firms with fewer than 100 workers,” said Paul Fronstin, Ph.D., director of health benefits research for the Employee Benefit Research Institute.

We deserve a healthcare system that works for us & can’t be taken away by any politician at the behest of the wealthy. If ACA tax credits expiring = more money spent on healthcare and less on groceries, or forgoing insurance entirely, we want to hear from you. Message us at [email protected].

Our healthcare shouldn’t be compromised to finance greedy corporations or billionaires looking for another tax cut.
We deserve a system that works for us and access to the care we need, no matter who we are or where we live.

All of us are patients, because all of us will need care at some point in our lives.
Whether it’s a chronic condition, a sudden illness, or routine care, all of us must navigate our healthcare system. And that’s why we deserve one that works for us.

It’s not normal to have to go into debt for healthcare. It’s not normal for insurance companies to decide whether or not you get the care you need.
It’s time to put our collective power into action and create a healthcare system that works for all.

Maxwell Kruzic spent about 4 hours in the ER. He received the bill for $8,127.41 TWO YEARS later.
In no other industry would this be acceptable. It's time we hold healthcare to the same, higher standard.
