NEW: Congress is voting on whether to extend enhanced premium tax credits — a decision that affects family budgets and local economies.

Since these credits expired, families face higher costs and tougher trade-offs. Here's how you can take action today ⬇️

The proposed Public Charge changes will cause fear & confusion while pushing families away from essential care. Immigrant families aren’t the issue, but they are being unfairly blamed.

Our communities need safety, support, and stability. Not policies that cause fear and confusion.

Bria was able to access the care she needed thanks to Medicaid. Now, Medicaid cuts are closing clinics, straining rural hospitals, & limiting access to reproductive & preventive health services.

Have these cuts to care affected you? Share your story >>https://pulse.ly/6durtmrhkf

Community health centers were created to expand access to care, not to sue patients, garnish wages, or bury families in medical debt. New report shows some centers have filed thousands of lawsuits against the very people they’re supposed to serve.

Millions rely on Medicaid and Marketplace coverage for birth control — from the pill to IUDs to hormonal treatments.

Cutting these programs = cutting off access to essential care.

Birth control IS health care.

If Congress fails to act, ACA premiums could rise by 75% or more. That’s the difference between paying $400 vs. $700 a month — or losing coverage entirely.

Policymakers caused this crisis — they can prevent it. It’s time to make ePTCs permanent >> commcat.io/43huaVO

Families are barely keeping up — groceries, rent, bills. And now Republicans just made it worse. They slashed nearly $1.1T from Medicaid and killed ACA credits that keep healthcare affordable.

All to reward corporate greed. Join the fight to protect health care: commcat.io/3X7MxZQ

Another day of the government shutdown.

This isn’t about numbers — it’s about people. About whether your neighbor can see a doctor, refill a prescription, or keep her coverage.

Health care isn’t a political bargaining chip. It’s a right.

Lawmakers recently passed the biggest health care cuts in U.S. history—ripping coverage away from 15M ppl. Millions more will see costs soar if Congress allows enhanced premium tax credits to expire.

We're fighting back.

When Jacalyn’s hospital cut maternity care, she was left driving 100 miles while pregnant to get the care she needed. With nearly $1T in Medicaid cuts, rural hospitals nationwide are at risk of shutting their doors — and families will pay the price.
