Republicans are talking a big game about affordability lately, but talk is cheap, and healthcare isn't.
And that's because the GOP committed a healthcare heist. But we're not standing for it.

It's 2026, and healthcare costs for over 22 million people have officially gone through the roof - all thanks to Republicans.
It's not fair, it's not right, and we're not going to stand for it.

Republicans are talking a big game when it comes to "affordability" lately, but they just blew their biggest chance to actually do something about it.
Thanks to the Senate GOP, monthly healthcare bills will double or even triple for millions of people on January 1st.

Alaska lawmakers talk a lot about supporting small business owners.
But it's time to put their money where their mouth is.

A few weeks ago, Iowans visited Sen. Ernst's office to plead with her to stop the #healthcareheist.
This summer, Sen. Ernst voted to gut Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act to give billionaires over $1 trillion in tax cuts.
That means higher bills and coverage losses for working Iowans.

Republicans are talking about "affordability" a lot more lately. But without action to give Americans some relief from skyrocketing bills, that's just a word.
Republicans could act TODAY to cut costs for working families, boost the economy, and improve public health. So far, they're doing nothing.

We visited Capitol Hill with Lauren, a small business owner, proud Pennsylvanian, and ACA recipient.
Lauren pleaded with her GOP reps to help hardworking Americans like her, and extend ACA tax credits that help her afford healthcare.
They claimed to care. But talk is cheap, and healthcare isn't.

These credits help Americans getting squeezed by the affordability crisis see a doctor when they’re sick, get screened for life-threatening illnesses, and care for their mental health.
Without them, Americans will have to make impossible choices between housing, food, utilities, and healthcare.

Republicans failed to extend Affordable Care Act credits that help over 22 million people get coverage.
Now, those folks are going to (literally) pay the price for the GOP’s choice to prioritize tax cuts for billionaires over public health.

Without ACA tax credits, she can't afford that implant, but she definitely can't afford a $36,000 surgery to take it out either.
