Republicans in Congress left D.C. without lifting a finger to stop a health care crisis they created. Over 21 million Americans now face higher premiums or lost coverage—starting January 1. They chose billionaires over working families. We won’t forget.

Wait, are you implying that Trump doesn’t understand how the ACA works?
I'm not sure how to say this any more simply. ACA premium tax credits are for people, not insurer. People receiving a tax credit can use it to buy any plan in the ACA marketplace. As an administrative mechanism, the government then forwards the tax credit to the chosen insurer.

The benefits created by the ACA go well beyond subsidized plans in the individual market and Medicaid expansion.

50 populations whose lives are better thanks to the ACA
Millions of Americans would have worse health insurance – or none at all – without Obamacare's provisions. But the law's protections extend beyond insurance benefits.

What did we “learn” from the shutdown? (“” because really, we already knew): Trump administration and R caucus so against affordable health care that forcing millions of people to be hungry was seen as acceptable—and all to protect tax cuts for the wealthy.

Evergreen: there has never been and never will be a credible Trump/GOP Congress plan to repeal & replace the ACA. The only plan has always been repealing/deeply cutting the ACA coverage expansions & cutting rest of #Medicaid to help pay for tax cuts for the wealthy. That’s what HR 1 did this summer.

Kentucky opened its 2026 ACA marketplace window shopping this week – and again, residents are seeing big premium spikes because of expiring tax credit enhancements. A typical 60-year-old couple making $85,000 is facing a $23,700 increase in annual premiums. (1/4)

Does Senator Thune really not understand how the ACA tax credits work when he says that a person making $600,000 can get help, or is he just being deliberately misleading? They only get help if the 2nd lowest cost plan available to them costs more than 8.5% ($51,000)
