🔴The government is shut down. 🔴Flights are being canceled. 🔴Healthcare costs are going to skyrocket. 🔴Millions will lose their coverage. 🔴Hospitals are closing. 🔴Farms are going bankrupt. 🔴Electricity costs are climbing fast. 🔴Groceries are expensive. 🔴Housing is

The current healthcare discussion has resurfaced lies about the ACA. No, the ACA did not make healthcare premiums rise faster. The law took effect in 2014, and as shown in the graphs below, the rate of premium increases did not accelerate. Numerous studies have run the numbers

🚨 ATTN. New Jersey: MIKIE SHERRILL… - Refuses to commit that she won’t raise New Jersey’s sales tax. - Her plan will “cost you an arm and a leg, but if you’re a good person, YOU’LL DO IT.” As Governor, Mikie Sherrill will make YOU PAY! Vote AGAINST her on 11/4.

The thing about leadership is that it doesn't matter what created the problem, whether it is a pandemic, global inflation, a war across the ocean, or a government shutdown; when you're the one in charge, it is your responsibility to solve it. Running the country isn't about

The Congressional Budget Office estimates that keeping the ACA subsidies that are expiring on January 1st would cost $350 billion over the next 10 years, or an average of $35 billion per year. Republicans say we don't have money for that. The same Republicans who: -Are giving

Another day that the government is shut down, and the House is on recess, because Republicans refuse to deal with the issue of unaffordable healthcare and premiums that will more than double for over 20 million Americans.

Today, our family braved the "warzone" streets of Chicago to scavenge lunch. The quiet. The relaxing parks. The comfortable seats in the restaurant. The kind people who held doors and helped us get the strollers down stairs. I can hardly believe we made it back home alive...

So while the President is busy posting childish memes, and the Republican Speaker of the House declared another vacation, know that they’re not only refusing to improve healthcare, they’re deliberately standing idly by to watch the problems worsen. You have a voice. Use it to

Universal healthcare doesn’t mean providing every possible medical service for free. It means ensuring everyone has access to necessary medical care, including preventive care. Beyond that, costs will vary from small copays for additional care to higher costs for elective

The idea that taking healthcare away from others will make it cheaper and better for you is a callous dream. Those cuts strain the system, increase costs, and limit access to care for the nation as a whole. Healthcare isn’t a zero-sum game. When we work together, all of our lives

And don’t believe that Republicans are planning to solve it later. Three months is a blink of an eye considering the snail's pace of Congress, and these months encompass major holidays. If you still want to give them the benefit of the doubt, you should know that the House has

I’m afraid there’s still more. During Covid and its recovery, subsidies for Affordable Care Act premiums were enacted and extended. These expire January 1st, 2026, three months from now. Over 20 million American citizens will see their monthly payments more than double at a time

When hospitals’ costs increase, they have to charge insurance companies more money to keep the hospital running, and the insurance company passes those costs on to you. If a hospital has distressed finances, those extra costs and reduced revenue will cause some of them to fail.

That is where the poorly named “One Big Beautiful Bill” enters. It reduces the reimbursement a hospital gets when it provides emergency care to an undocumented immigrant, care that they are legally and morally obligated to provide. That’s only the beginning. Additional

You may have heard statements that the shutdown is because Democrats want to give undocumented immigrants free healthcare. That is ridiculous. It is against the law for federal funds for Medicaid, Medicare, and ACA to be used by undocumented immigrants, with one exception:

The federal government is shut down. Sixteen months after the 2025 budget should have been finalized, Congress found itself at an impasse with the latest last-second extension. A shutdown is bad enough with 750,000 workers furloughed, and services still being paid for by our

Do Republicans really think that cutting funding to states that didn't vote for Trump will make them support him? Do they think sending the military and secret police into blue cities to intimidate citizens, raid apartment buildings, terrorize children, and arrest those who

Republicans don't want you to know your healthcare is going to get more expensive. They try to say they're only preventing illegals and lazy people from getting healthcare, but that isn't true. Millions of Americans will lose their healthcare because of the Republican "Big

Trump has NOT achieved peace between Hamas and Israel as many are claiming. Hamas responded that they felt some of the terms were potentially agreeable, while stating that further discussion was needed. What has been achieved is negotiations. Those negotiations could still

The last time the House held a vote was September 19th, before going on vacation. Now, Speaker Johnson has just announced another vacation, despite the previous one never really ending. It is incredible how little the House does, and how many vacations it takes, under
