CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

Of all the horrible, cruel things the Trump Administration has done, taking away food from hungry children is the one that makes me the most angry.

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

Congressman Dwight Evans @repdwightevans.bsky.social · 2d

Open enrollment starts soon, and my constituents can’t wait to find out if the GOP, who have total control of Washington, will extend the tax credits that make their health care coverage affordable.

If you're already seeing your premiums rise, I want to hear from you!

If Republicans let Affordable Care Act tax credits expire, a family of four in PA-03 making $64,000 will see their annual premiums rise by 327%

If Republicans let Affordable Care Act tax credits expire, a 60-year-old couple in PA-03 making $82,800 will see their annual premiums rise by $11,485

Why is there a government shutdown?

Trump and the Republicans in Congress want to pass a budget that takes away health care from millions of Americans and doubles premiums for millions more.

And Democrats in Congress are saying HELL, NO, NOT ON OUR WATCH.

Let's put the Democrats in charge.

Major media companies are kowtowing to Trump. Democrats ARE speaking out. They are just not being covered on TV. Google the name of any Democratic member of Congress or the US Senate and you will find plenty of statements and videos. Here is @warren.senate.gov

Congratulation, Donald Trump. Everyone loves you so much, they have unanimously decided to make you King of the World. You no longer have to bother with those pesky "President" duties. To get sworn in as king, simply report to this address:

Oude Waalsdorperweg 10
2597 AK, The Hague
