It’s been a long year. Together, we’ve advocated fiercely for policies that enable our families and communities to thrive, and we’ve mobilized growing pressure on Republican leaders in Congress to roll back the devastating health care cuts passed in Trump’s Big Ugly Bill. Because of your strong voices, we are expecting votes in Congress this week to extend ACA tax credits. This is the time to make even more noise!

Quick signature: Tell the U.S. Senate to pass a clean extension of the expiring ACA tax credits and stop the health care price hikes!

We’re down to the wire to push Republican leaders in Congress to lower costs and save health care for millions of people. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) enhanced premium tax credits are set to expire at the end of 2025. If Republican leaders in Congress do not extend the ACA tax credits before then, health care costs will more than double for over 20 million people. To make matters more urgent, there’s only *8* legislative days left in the year when Congress is in session and can vote on this critical issue to bring some much-needed relief to families.

There’s a way to get us out of this mess, and we need your voice! The U.S. Senate plans to vote this week on a three-year extension of the ACA tax credits proposed by Senate Democrats. Basically, that proposal would keep the ACA tax credit program running the way it has since 2021. Right now, this is the only solution that would protect health care for the millions of people who find insurance through the ACA Marketplace—and it could be put into action quickly enough to prevent any gaps in coverage and care.

Families are feeling the pressure, and we have to make sure Senate Republican leaders feel it too. Add your name to stop the health care price hikes!

Health care in the U.S. is expensive enough, but Republican leaders in Congress have decided 2025 is the year to make the situation far worse by attacking programs that make health care more affordable and accessible. Over the summer, Republican leaders cut $1 trillion from health programs like Medicaid, taking coverage from more than 15 million people. 

Now, Republicans in Congress are doing everything they can to eliminate the ACA tax credits, which help 24 million people afford health care and have proven to significantly increase access to health care. Thanks to the ACA tax credits and other policies that make Marketplace coverage easier to access, health insurance enrollment more than doubled between 2020 and 2024—and over a million additional children signed up. If Republican leaders in Congress decide to end the premium tax credits, nearly 5 million people—including children and people with pre-existing conditions—will lose their health care coverage altogether.

At this point, the mandate is clear: the only way for Republican leaders to address this health care crisis of their making is for Congress to pass a clean extension of the ACA tax credits. The opportunity to do so starts this week in the Senate, and we need your voice.

Dear Member of Congress,

We’re down to the wire to save health care and lower costs for millions of Americans. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) enhanced premium tax credits will expire at the end of 2025— that's only a few legislative days before the end of the year to vote on this critical issue and bring some much-needed relief to families.

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 also the 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 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 people, and nearly 5 million additional people will lose their health coverage altogether.

When millions 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. This harms the economy and families alike.

We urge you to vote YES on a clean three-year extension of the ACA tax credits—a solution that will protect affordable, accessible health care for millions of people and can be implemented quickly enough to prevent any gaps in coverage and care.
