ACA “coverage” is a taxpayer-funded illusion. In 2014, enrollees paid 32% of their premiums. Today? Just 7%. Taxpayers now cover 93%—and millions aren’t even eligible. This isn’t health care. It’s a subsidy scam.

Insurance premiums doubled overnight for millions of Americans on January 1. Over half of ACA marketplace enrollees say they’d go without insurance if premiums double. I’m one of them. We canceled our policy. $3,000 a month isn’t health care. It’s a shakedown. House Democrats Senate Democrats

Today, millions of Americans are starting the new year with skyrocketing health care premiums. The fault lies with Republicans, who keep blocking the simple fix: extending ACA tax credits that millions rely on to afford coverage. It’s time to pass the extension, and continue fighting to lower health care costs.

Let’s set the record straight on the Affordable Care Act. Before the ACA, millions of Americans with pre-existing conditions were locked out of health insurance. Today, more than 20 million people — including small-business owners and the self-employed — finally have access to affordable coverage. The real driver of rising health care costs isn’t the ACA; it’s the broken insurance industry, where nurses spend nearly half their time fighting with insurance bureaucrats who say no to life-saving treatments. That’s the perverse incentive. Meanwhile Republicans can’t produce a single health care plan that addresses sky-high premiums or the need for coverage for pre-existing conditions. Health care coverage is essential. Let’s protect it — and strengthen it.

Trump is destroying our nation’s health care system. Intentionally. Just for fun. New data shows that his cuts have caused a 21% decline in ACA signups. And of those that do sign up, another 20% can’t pay their premiums and lose coverage immediately. A disaster.

Did you hear this? After throwing millions off their health care insurance, Trump is now going to let insurers make loans to patients - possibly with sky high interest rates - so they can afford the Trump premiums. Just a total scam.

Up to 100,000 Coloradans could lose their health coverage if ACA premium tax credits aren’t extended. This is an issue of life and death. Republicans must come to the table now to prevent the loss of this lifeline before it’s too late.

Republicans in Congress now own the health care system—so let’s call it what it is: Trumpcare. With their disastrous budget bill, they planted a ticking time bomb right in the middle of the American health care system—and it’s set to go off in 2027. The result? Millions more without coverage, and higher health care costs for the rest of us.

I just joined Senator Jeff Merkley to lay out the stakes of Trump’s health care crisis: - Over 320,000 Massachusetts residents could lose health coverage - $2 billion in Medicaid funding gone - 19,000 health care jobs erased - Premiums up $1,000/mo for some families Health care is a right, but it’s quickly becoming a casualty of MAGA cruelty

The committee that handles our nation's health is ignoring a HUGE elephant in the room—they haven't even held a hearing to discuss the expiring ACA tax credits. So today I made sure to bring attention to the millions of families that are getting priced out of their health care.

Millions of Americans are about to get a notice letting them know their health care premiums are going to SKYROCKET. Families are going to face higher costs & potentially even lose coverage. Democrats have a bill to stop it, but Republicans are REFUSING to even lift a finger.

Families are getting letters right now that their health insurance premiums are doubling, and for working people—this is life-changing. The fight to reopen the government and lower health care costs isn’t about politics. It’s about making sure everyone can afford the care they deserve.

🚨 BREAKING: Speaker Johnson just CONFIRMED the GOP healthcare bill that passed tonight will DECREASE premiums by 11%, with NO ACA extensions for Big, Rich Insurance 🔥 "It gives persons more options, more flexibility in their health care and also it adds transparency." THIS IS HUGE! "We had the PBM, pharmacy benefit manager, transparency piece to it as well. Now contrast that with the Democrats, COVID era subsidy that they wanted to extend that would only impact 7% of Americans." "The bill we just passed impacts 100% of Americans. Their version would impact 7% of Americans and it would cost taxpayers $350 billion." "That is not the way to reduce the cost of health care. The Democrats do not want a solution, they just demonstrated, because they voted against this bill. They want an issue for the election. It is based on a false narrative." "The Democrats broke America's health care system. When they gave us the ACA, the unaffordable care act 15 years ago, they promised that premiums would come down that access would increase in quality of health care would increase. None of that happened because it's a flawed system." "Their response right now is to subsidize and continue to shovel taxpayer dollars onto a broken system. We say enough is enough!" "The Republican Party is the party that is bringing the ideas forward to fix this crisis and fix this problem for everyone. It is a serious problem." "We took a big step tonight to do that. We hope that this could sign in law quickly because it will have the desired effect. We hope the Senate can get this done in short order."

Barack Obama destroyed our healthcare system. It’s time to abolish the Affordable Care Act - The average family Premiums have tripled - Average family coverage is $27,000 per year (INSANE) - Deductibles are $6,000-$12,000 per family member before you can even use it - Taxpayers subsidize $700–$800 billion annually This is an absolute scam. It’s nothing but the worlds largest money laundering operation from taxpayers into the pocket of insurance companies (for coverage you can’t even use without going bankrupt) “The ACA subsidies debate. ACA subsidy. Well, if it's so affordable, why do we need to shovel $400 billion more money at it? Family coverage for the average employer plan, not on the exchanges but getting through the employers, now $27,000 a year. You can buy a car for that. And like, a good car. Not just a cheap car. A good car for that. Think about that in terms of how much health insurance costs. And again, it's the problem of the incentives. Everybody is incentivized to spend more money — it's the government's money, it's free money” For non-employer coverage, the average silver plan for a family of 4 costs ~$24,000–$25,000 annually (~$2,000/month) in 2026, up 26% from 2026 (Absolutely insane)

This shut down is about health care. Democrats want to ensure Americans avoid a 114% spike in their insurance premiums. But Republicans won’t even talk to us. In fact, most of them are on vacation right now!

Everyone needs to see this: If Republicans succeed in letting ACA subsidies expire a couple making 85k/year will see their health care premiums skyrocket to $25,000. Almost 30% of their income!! This will devastate middle-class Americans.

CNN breaking it down: if Republicans let ACA subsidies expire, your health care premiums will skyrocket. One example—$7,225 a year now (8.5% of income) would jump to $25,000 (nearly 30%). That’s the reality for millions, especially in CA, TX, FL, GA, and NC.
