The Affordable Care Act didn’t fix every issue in our health care system. But working families are facing a cliff right now if we don't extend these tax credits. If they don't act, Republicans will force millions of people to lose their coverage.

I'm the first person to say that the Affordable Care Act is not perfect. We have a long way to go to make health care affordable. In the meantime, we have to fight to protect health care coverage for millions of Americans.

It’s the first day of open enrollment for health insurance under the ACA. While families struggle to keep coverage, Trump and Republicans are driving up health care costs to give billionaires another tax break. We must extend ACA tax credits and make care affordable for all.

It’s now the 8th day of the government shutdown. Democrats and Republicans must come together to reopen the government and extend premium tax credits that help lower health care costs. These credits make coverage more affordable for millions. We need action now.

BREAKING: Democrat House Leader Hakeem Jeffries just eviscerated Trump and Republicans for trying to take people off of the Affordable Care Act, and leave millions of Americans with no health insurance. "Our position is a permanent extension of the Affordable Care Act Extension tax credits. Enough of the games that republicans have been playing connected to the healthcare of the American people. No one can trust their word on healthcare. Are you kidding me? These people have been trying to repeal and displace people off the Affordable Care Act since 2010. That’s 15 years."

I fought tooth-and-nail to pass the Affordable Care Act when I first came to Congress. I won't stand by now as Republicans rip health care away from millions of Americans. We must ensure families can access health care.

Jenny is a mom and cancer survivor who relies on Medicaid for health care. Millions of people like Jenny are at risk of losing their health insurance under Republicans' "Big Beautiful Bill." Together, with brave people like Jenny, we can protect health care for millions.

Republicans have massively cut health care and refused to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits. It's time they stop their government shutdown and work with Democrats to save health care.

I spoke with my constituent Paul who, like tens of millions of other Americans, relies on Affordable Care Act enhanced premium tax credits to keep health care costs down. If Republicans continue blocking my legislation, their premiums will skyrocket and many will lose coverage.

Republicans shamelessly shirked their duties by leaving town without extending the ACA credits — leaving millions of families with tighter budgets and higher health care costs. Sinful! But we won’t give up! Democrats won’t stop fighting to Save Our Health Care.

Today, millions of Americans relying on for their insurance face surging premiums because Trump and Republicans won't fund Affordable Care Act tax credits. If you have sticker shock today, know that I’ll keep working to deliver health care you can afford.

Stephanopoulos: “The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher health care premiums. Why are you against that?” Johnson: “That's an absurd statement.” Stephanopoulos: “Here are the facts. The proposal does not provide health care for illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants cannot buy health care under the Affordable Care Act. They cannot receive health care subsidies. Immigrants are ineligible for Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children's Health Program. The Democratic bill does not make them eligible.”

We have to recognize the importance of today’s vote to extend the health care tax credits under the Affordable Care Act. Failing to extend these subsidies will be devastating for veterans & their families—267,000 vets will no longer be able to afford coverage.

This week, House Republicans are trying to take food from the hungry and health care from the sick. Then they're going to give that money away to their billionaire friends. We need to fight back.

As we did in 2010 when we passed the Affordable Care Act and saved it in 2017, people telling their personal stories at grassroots events enabled us to win the issue and win the House in 2018. Outside mobilization saved the day then — and will Save Our Health Care, again! -NP

When funding falls short, millions of people living with HIV face disrupted care, declining health, and for some, the risk of death. Access to medicine is a human right. If we fail to act now, we risk losing the chance to #EndAIDS.
