Is it 'Winter' or 'winter'?
The seasons are common nouns, not proper nouns, so they are not usually capitalized.
They should be capitalized when they are the first word of a sentence or in titles, and in cases where they are being personified, as in poetry.

Congress must extend the ACA tax credits that are a lifeline for millions of families.
That’s exactly what the Democratic plan would do by providing the certainty of these tax credits for another 3 years. I urge my Republican colleagues to join us to advance this proposal.

Prevent skyrocketing health care costs for Americans.

This is a crude comparison but it underscores the point:
At full price, employer-based insurance premiums have been similar to or HIGHER than full price ACA coverage on average for years now.
With subsidies, they've also been similar WITH the enhanced tax credits.
