Time is running out for people like Aidalis. If Congress fails to extend the enhanced ACA tax credits before they expire, millions will face unaffordable premiums & loss of coverage. Congress must protect healthcare, extend the tax credits, & reverse the deadly cuts to Medicaid!

“My healthcare costs are gonna skyrocket. I might have to drop out of the program,” says Lauren from Bucks County. If Congress lets the enhanced tax credits expire at the end of 2025, millions could lose coverage, and costs will spike for EVERYONE.
We say: No #HealthcareHeist!

Cutting funding and failing to extend the ACA tax credits will make health care more expensive for everyone. People like Denise in Northampton county want affordable insurance that allows them to get the care they need, not catastrophic insurance at astronomical costs.

We held a press conference yesterday w/ advocates, legislators, & impacted residents to call out the Republican-led Medicaid cuts and expiration of ACA tax credits, both of which are driving up health care costs across PA. The shutdown isn’t about politics—it’s about our health care #ProtectOurCare

Enhanced Premium Tax Credits help over 20M ppl get health coverage. Many are already stretching every dollar — they can’t afford higher premiums or more debt.

Congressman Bresnahan voted to cut Medicaid and SNAP funding, all to give tax breaks to the super rich. Over 150 people came together in Scranton for our “Broken Vows Town Hall” to speak out and organize - joined by the @fairshareamerica.bsky.social “Stop the Billionaire Giveaway” tour bus!

Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law 60 years ago today.

Both programs have saved countless lives, and are extremely popular.

But now, both are under attack from the Trump admin and Republican leaders in Congress, so they can pay for tax giveaways to billionaires and big corporations.
Medicaid covers: 41% of all births in the US. 61% of long term care. 38% of health care for children. Republicans voted to cut healthcare for parents, seniors, and kids.
