Friend,
Trump and Congressional Republicans are refusing to solve a healthcare crisis they created. That’s unacceptable.
Republicans are refusing to do their jobs and the consequences for the American people are staggering:
- 22 million people could see their premiums spike if Congress fails to extend enhanced ACA subsidies – twenty-two million is no small number. It’s equal to the COMBINED populations of Wyoming, Vermont, D.C., Alaska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Delaware, Rhode Island, Montana, Maine, New Hampshire, Hawaii, West Virginia, Idaho, Nebraska, New Mexico, and Mississippi.[1]
- Up to 15 million people are projected to lose coverage outright over the next decade because of Republican cuts.[2]
- More than 700 rural hospitals – about one in three nationwide – are at risk of shutting their doors, devastating entire communities.[3]
Add your name: Tell Congress to pass a funding deal now that protects our healthcare. >>
This health care crisis didn’t appear out of nowhere. It was created when Republicans gutted health care spending in their budget bill earlier this year – slashing support for families while protecting tax breaks for corporations and the wealthy. Now, they’re doubling down by refusing to fix the damage they caused.
Democrats in Congress are ready to work. They’ve been clear from the start: extend the ACA tax credits that lower premiums by an average of $700, protect health care, and keep the government open. Three times Democrats have called for action, and three times Republicans have refused.
The American people overwhelmingly oppose these cuts. But Trump and Republicans in Congress don’t care what voters want. They would rather drive us toward a shutdown than protect families from higher costs and lost care so they can hand out tax cuts to corporations and billionaires.
Sign the petition: Demand Congress act now to protect health care and prevent a shutdown. >>
Each day that Republicans stall brings us closer to a healthcare disaster. Millions of Americans cannot afford higher premiums or lost coverage – and none of us can afford an economy brought to its knees because Republicans refuse to govern.
If Republicans think the public will stay silent while they rip health care away from millions and force a shutdown on the entire country, they’re wrong.
Together, we can hold them accountable, stop their reckless power plays, and make sure Congress protects families instead of sacrificing them for politics.
In solidarity,
People For the American Way
