Write a letter to the editor: Tell your U.S. Senators to extend the expiring ACA tax credits!
At last! For months, we have been demanding that Congress take action to protect our health care—but Republican leaders and President Trump have refused to take the health care crisis they’ve created seriously. But thankfully, at the last minute, four House Republicans joined Democrats to force a vote on extending the ACA tax credits, which created a glimmer of hope! That is a big step forward in our fight to protect health care and has been made possible by your tireless and effective work!
Our advocacy has been working! Now’s the time to turn up the heat. Take action by writing a letter to the editor to tell the U.S. Senate: Finish the job—extend the expiring ACA tax credits! *Don’t stress - We’ll make it easy! We’ll give you a draft letter and all the talking points you need!
*We know that lawmakers read their local newspapers when they are back home over the holidays to see what is on the minds of the people in their districts, that’s why it’s critical for you to take action now and submit a letter to the editor to stop the health care heist!
We’re down to the wire here in the fight to lower costs and save health care for millions of Americans. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits, which make health care coverage affordable for tens of millions of moms and families, are set to expire at the end of 2025. If they do, millions of families will soon be without health coverage, with dire consequences not just for them but also for our entire health care system and all of us who depend on it.
Time is running out, but it’s not too late! The fact that four House Republicans crossed party lines and joined House Democrats to make sure there is a vote on extending the ACA tax credits shows this fight isn’t over. Republican leaders in the House plan to hold the vote on extending the ACA tax credits in January. That gives us a few weeks to put pressure on the Senate!
Listen, we know it’s the holidays. It’s a busy time of year. AND it is very important that our voices are heard at this moment! We’ll make it easy to take a high-impact action by providing a draft letter and all the talking points you need to send the message.
Write a letter to the editor to tell the Senate: Saving health care for millions is up to you! Extend the expiring ACA tax credits.
