This shutdown isn’t about Republicans vs. Democrats. This is about whether millions of Americans, like Leslie from Buckeye, can afford basic health insurance. I’ve been talking to a lot of people across Arizona whose premiums are going to become unaffordable.

This government shutdown isn’t about winning and losing or Democrats and Republicans. It’s about whether people all over the country can afford their health care premiums.

Trump and Republicans are letting insurance premiums spike for millions of Americans. Americans cannot afford this. But Republicans refuse to work with Democrats to help working families.

I’ve spoken to people young and old who’ve told me they simply won’t be able to afford health care if premiums double. That’s a reality millions of Americans are facing unless Republicans work with us to prevent health care costs from rising and end this shutdown.

"This fight is about ensuring that we are not going to see 20 million Americans have their health insurance become unaffordable." Great to join Ben Meiselas on MeidasTouch to discuss health care affordability and the path out of this shutdown. WATCH:

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been hearing from Arizonans worried about how they’re going to afford health care if Trump and Republicans allow their premiums to double or even triple. If anyone is wondering what this government shutdown debate is about: this is it. 🧵

Trump is going to keep saying unhinged things. But here's what he and Democrats are really fighting about: whether millions of people are going to lose their health care and millions more are going to have their premiums double. Every American should know this.

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!

🧵What you need to know about the looming government shutdown (with Jim Acosta). Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill is the largest cut to health care in American history. It’s going to kick millions of people off their health insurance and make premiums go through the roof. Hospitals and nursing homes are going to shut down, and access to preventative care will be blocked. Democrats are fighting to stop this from happening. Republicans have 3 options.

"Talking" about health care later isn't going to do anything for people whose premiums are doubling or even quadrupling. Prices are getting locked in. "Talking" about this LATER is TOO LATE.

Across the country, Americans are starting to see their health care premiums go up. Where are House Republicans? Hiding. And Senate Republicans? They are still refusing to negotiate. Republicans can end this shutdown today by simply restoring Americans' health care.

Because of Trump and his Rubberstamp Republicans, millions of Americans will lose their health insurance or be forced to pay A LOT MORE for their health care premiums.

From Texas to Minnesota, millions of hardworking Americans are seeing their health insurance premiums skyrocket. Enough is enough. The path forward is clear: the President and Congressional Republicans must negotiate in good faith to stop this health crisis.

We have an affordability crisis. Plus, millions of Americans are either going to lose health insurance or pay a lot more for their premiums. What are Republicans doing? Making their Great Gatsby ballroom even bigger.

Republicans are spreading all sorts of lies about the shutdown. Here's the facts: Families are about to get notices that their health insurance premiums have more than doubled. 15 million Americans are relying on us. We must protect their affordable health care.

Americans are now receiving notices from insurance companies. Premiums will double — even QUADRUPLE — if we don’t stop Trump's proposals. In Vt. a family of 4 could be paying $50,000/yr for health insurance. Insane. Nobody can afford it. THAT'S what the shutdown fight is about.

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.

You don’t need a crystal ball to know that ending health insurance tax credits is going to mean disaster for tens of thousands of CT families. Premiums are set to double or triple, making insurance unaffordable. Democrats are going to keep fighting to protect health care access.

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.
