Last week, after months of public pressure–the U.S. House passed legislation to reinstate the Affordable Care Act’s premium tax credits—the very subsidies that made health insurance affordable for millions of working families, seniors, and small business owners.
When those credits expired at the end of 2025, costs doubled or tripled overnight for people who were already stretched thin. Republicans let that happen.
But organizers stepped up. Holding town halls, calling district offices, and making sure my Republican colleagues knew it is unacceptable to make working families choose between seeing a doctor or paying rent.
That’s why last week, 17 vulnerable Republicans joined the House Democrats and said enough.
