More than a week ago, House Democrats forced a winning bipartisan vote to extend ACA credits.

But now Senate Republicans are refusing to act - leaving millions of Americans to see their health care premiums skyrocket or lose coverage entirely.

If Trump bought his own groceries, he'd know many prices are UP after one year of his backwards policies.

Last week, House Democrats delivered a win for millions of Americans and forced a winning vote to extend ACA tax credits.

The Senate needs to pass this NOW. 500,000 Pennsylvanians are counting on it!

22 million Americans- including 500,000 Pennsylvanians- are counting on the Senate to act NOW!

The House already did its job by passing a bipartisan bill to extend ACA tax credits for 3 years. Our constituents can’t afford to wait any longer!

Meanwhile, back in the real world…

The Senate must act NOW to extend ACA tax credits!

As I said today at Temple University Hospital with @congressmanboyle.bsky.social - 500,000 Pennsylvanians rely on these critical tax credits to afford their health care. This is a matter of life or death!

Donald Trump is focused on his ballroom and sending out $100,000 checks for Greenlanders.

Democrats in Congress remain focused on making health care affordable and lowering costs for YOU.

Once again, Speaker Johnson and most House Republicans' priorities are clear— and protecting your health care is not one of them.

We are forever grateful and indebted to the sacrifices of the brave law enforcement officers who defended the Capitol on January 6.

We cannot remain silent or try to erase this history. That’s why outside my DC office there is a replica plaque honoring their heroism. (2/3)

I oppose the Trump-Vance administration’s unauthorized and unconstitutional military actions in Venezuela.

America does not need another ill-conceived ‘forever war.’ Trump can’t even run our country well and now he’s focused on trying to run another one.

Happy New Year, Philly! May 2026 bring you and your loved ones happiness and joy!
January 1, 2026 at 3:10 PM
Because of Donald Trump and congressional Republicans' inaction, the Affordable Care Act tax credits that help make health care affordable for millions of Americans are expiring today.

Let’s be clear: this crisis was preventable.

To fighting back against backwards agenda of the Trump administration and this Republican-controlled Congress…

Trump calls affordability a ‘hoax.’

But thanks to HIS reckless economic agenda, this year, from toys to electronics to clothing and shoes, holiday shopping has become a lot more unaffordable for working families.

Millions of Americans can no longer afford to wait for Congress to extend tax credits that expire Dec. 31 and help make their health care affordable.

The Speaker must stop playing games with people’s lives and bring our bill to extend these credits to the House floor TODAY!

This summer, congressional Republicans rushed through a budget to extend expiring tax cuts for the ultra-rich by designating them as “free.”

Why won’t the GOP use the same logic to extend expiring tax cuts that help make health care affordable for millions of working Americans?
December 17, 2025 at 6:41 PM
The House GOP’s last-minute, half-baked health care “plan” does absolutely nothing to extend the expiring ACA credits AND will lead to 100,000 MORE Americans losing their health insurance.

I was happy to join SEPTA and community leaders at the ribbon-cutting of the newly improved Wissahickon Transport Center.

As one of SEPTA’s busiest centers, with safety and accessibility improvements, this new center will improve the transit experience for all riders!

There are 4 legislative days left this year, and the GOP’s new health care “plan” does nothing to address the expiring tax credits that make health care affordable for 24 million Americans.

We just need 4 House Republicans to use their leverage & join us to force a vote on renewing these credits.
