Congressional Republicans voted to increase health care premiums. Republicans are playing games with your health care. Data from @wisconsinoci shows that if they let ACA tax credits expire, 60+ year old Wisconsinites could pay $33,000 more each year.

I will not support this bill that completely fails to help Americans afford their health care. Trump and Republicans more than doubled Americans’ health care premiums, and for 40 days they have refused to lift a finger to do a thing about it. In fact, they’ve made it worse by

Tonight, I am voting no on a procedural vote on an appropriations deal that would re-open the government. Since July, I have been clear: to earn my vote, Republicans would have to do something to bring down the cost of health care for working and middle-class Michiganders. The

Source familiar anticipates "at least" 8 Senate Democratic caucus members are going to vote for the deal. (And yes, you have to specify Democratic caucus in this case because Sen. King is among the dealmakers)

Senator Tammy Baldwin is absolutely right— there can’t be a deal based on a wink and a nod, we need a real fix for working families. Health care for 275,000 Wisconsinites and millions of Americans is worth fighting for.

BREAKING: According to new data from @wisconsinoci, if Republicans fail to extend enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits, Wisconsinites are going to pay hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands more dollars a year for their healthcare coverage. This is really bad, folks.
