As long as medical debt exists, and middlemen health insurance corporations bleed us dry, and Capitol Hill uses our lives as bargaining chips, and we're stuck in this abysmal, pathetic excuse for a health "care" system... We'll be here, fighting.

Trump’s Shutdown: Our Healthcare Is On The Line · Working Families Power
This weekend, working families across this country are going to face the consequences of Donald Trump’s healthcare cuts and refusal to fund the government. Open enrollment in the healthcare marketplace starts on November 1st and millions of Americans will see huge increases in their premiums because Trump and Congressional Republicans are refusing to extend premium tax credits for people who use the ACA. As a result, an estimated 22 million people will see their healthcare premiums double and 4.2 million will lose healthcare because they can no longer afford it. At the same time, more than 40 million people will be unable to afford food when SNAP benefits are halted because of the government shutdown. Join our mass call this Thursday (10/30) at 8 PM EST/5 PM PST for an update on the shutdown situation and the campaign to protect our healthcare, and to discuss how we can organize collectively to support and protect our care.Hosted by: Working Families Power, Americans for Tax Fairness, Be A Hero, Economic Security Project Action, Indivisible, MoveOn, People's Action, Popular Democracy in Action, Public Citizen, Service Employees International Union (SEIU), and 50501

We NEED a permanent extension of ACA tax credits so we can BEGIN to legislate Medicare For ALL & not have people on the Marketplace constantly worried about their subsidies being REVOKED. BUT, Universal Healthcare, like Medicare For All IS the TRUE Answer!
