Dear Friend,

Republican leaders in Congress and billionaires alike are all about tax
credits that make them richer. But they refuse to take action to extend
tax credits that make health care affordable for everyday, working
families. What!?

[ [link removed] ]Quick signature: Lower health care costs and make the ACA premium tax
credits permanent! *When you click, you’ll automatically sign on if we
already have your information.

2025 has been the year of sticker shock and health care cuts—and Americans
are in immediate need of some relief. Families are still reeling from the
inflated price of Halloween candy, and now wholesale turkey prices are up
by 40 percent ahead of Thanksgiving!? [1] Trump promised to lower the cost
of living, but things have only gotten harder. This is full-blown
#Trumpflation.

The grocery store isn’t the only place prices are rising. If Republican
leaders in Congress do not extend the Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium
tax credits before they’re set to expire at the end of the year, health
care costs will more than double for over 20 million Americans. [ [link removed] ] The
cost of health care in the U.S. is already high. Now, Republican leaders
in Congress have escalated a dire situation into a full-blown crisis. This
summer, Republican leaders cut $1 trillion from health care programs,
taking away health care from over 15 million people. [ [link removed] ] Then, instead of
addressing the health care emergency of their own making, Republican
leaders turned to their next target: letting the ACA premium tax credits
expire—credits that allow more than 24 million Americans to afford health
care. [ [link removed] ] Skyrocketing health care costs are the last things families need
right now!

It’s all-hands on deck. This isn’t just an issue for people who purchase
health care through the ACA—this is going to impact all Americans. When
millions of people become uninsured, it will put a strain on the entire
health care system, causing health care costs to rise across the board and
even force hundreds of hospitals, maternity wards, and nursing homes to
close. Research has found that millions of Americans will collectively pay
an estimated $23 billion more next year just to maintain the same level of
coverage they currently rely on. [ [link removed] ]

[2]Tell Republican leaders in Congress: It’s past time to tackle the
affordability crisis—let’s start with health care. Make the ACA tax
credits permanent!

Democrats in the U.S. House only need three Republicans to join them in
forcing a vote to extend health care tax credits. House Republicans—we’re
looking at you to stand up for the health and wellbeing of the people you
represent!

Republican leaders in Congress need to take action quickly to prevent
millions of people from losing their health care coverage. Open enrollment
for health care started on November 1st, meaning that millions of families
have already begun to log onto healthcare.gov to renew or find the right
health care plan. Some will find the costs unaffordable and drop their
insurance altogether, while others will be forced to make painful choices
about how to pay for care. If Republican leaders in Congress end the
premium tax credits, nearly 5 million people will lose their health care
coverage altogether. [ [link removed] ]

The bottom line is, Republican leaders in Congress already gutted health
care this year in order to hand tax breaks to billionaires. To make
matters even more expensive, Trump has also slapped massive tariffs on
groceries, clothes, and electronics to pay for even more tax breaks for
the wealthy. There’s a lot of talk about tax breaks—but none for the
everyday, working families who need affordable health care.

As they slash health care, Trump and Republicans in Congress have given
even more tax breaks to billionaires and also poured funding into
separating families, committing human rights abuses, and detaining
immigrants—people essential to our care workforce, our economy and our
future. Our nation needs a safe and orderly immigration process that
balances compassion and security, NOT cuts to health care, NOT cruelty,
and NOT #Trumpflation.

Dear Member of Congress,

2025 has been the year of sticker shock and health care cuts—and
Americans are in immediate need of some relief. The last thing families
need right now is increased health care costs. We urge you to sign the
discharge petition introduced by Leader Jeffries to force a floor vote
on extending ACA premium tax credits.

The cost of health care in the U.S. was already high. Now, with $1
trillion in cuts to health care over the summer and the Affordable Care
Act (ACA) premium tax credits on the line, a dire situation has
escalated into a full-blown crisis. Fifteen million people will already
lose health care due to Medicaid cuts passed earlier this year. If
Congress does not renew the Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium tax
credits before they’re set to expire at the end of the year, then health
care costs will more than double for over 20 million Americans, and
nearly 5 million additional Americans will lose their health coverage
altogether.

When millions of people become uninsured, it will also put a strain on
the entire health care system, causing health care costs to rise across
the board and even force hundreds of hospitals, maternity wards, and
nursing homes to close. Research has found that millions of Americans
will collectively pay an estimated $23 billion more next year just to
maintain the same level of coverage they currently rely on.

The time to take action to protect the health and wellbeing of Americans
is now: Open enrollment started on November 1st, and millions of
families have already begun to log onto healthcare.gov to renew or find
the right health care plan.

On behalf of MomsRising’s 1.2 million members and moms, parents,
families, and caregivers across the nation, we again urge you to sign
the discharge petition introduced by Leader Jeffries to force a floor
vote on extending ACA premium tax credits.

Even though Republican leaders in Congress have turned health care into a
bargaining chip, it’s not a luxury or a “nice-to-have”—it’s a lifesaver.
Without ACA tax credits, many cancer patients will no longer be able to
access treatment; an unfortunate accident could push families into
crippling medical debt; and people living with chronic illness may not be
able to afford life-saving medications. The health, wellbeing, and
financial stability of millions of Americans is on the line.

The more people who speak out, the bigger our impact. Please take a moment
to share our [5]action link with your friends and family.

Together we are a powerful voice for families.
