"We don’t have that kind of extra money."
"We took the gamble."
"I keep praying we don’t have an accident."
That's not how we should be talking about health care. This is not normal.

Families are turning to thoughts and prayers as health insurance premiums soar
‘Our 2025 plan went up nearly $300 per month, and my husband and I are freelance musicians/teachers with low income, so we don’t have that kind of extra money,’ one policyholder said

For Congress, healthcare cuts might look like numbers on a spreadsheet. For Robin, it’s life or death.
Stop gambling with our lives. Fund our health care. Extend the ACA tax credits.

Congress had a choice this summer—and they got it wrong. They could have protected funding that keeps ACA plans affordable for millions. What did they choose to pass instead? Cuts to SNAP, cuts to Medicaid and Medicare, and astronomical funding increases for ICE. #FundHealthcareStopICE

Congress needs to set its priorities straight. We need affordable health care. We DON'T need more suffering. $30 billion of our hard-earned tax dollars is better spent healing us, not terrorizing us. #FundHealthcareStopICE

Enrollment is down >800,000 from last year. This isn’t people “choosing less coverage.” It’s people getting priced out of the care they deserve.
The House voted to extend premium help for 3 years—now it's the Senate's turn.

Exhibit 1 of Mike Johnson "returning the dignity of work to young men who need to be out working instead of playing videogames all day."
All the GOP has done with our health care is turn the tables against workers and small business owners.

Fewer small employees offer health coverage as premiums rise
“If health insurance premiums rise faster than wages and general inflation, small employers are likely to face intensified financial strain, which could accelerate the erosion of health plan sponsorship among firms with fewer than 100 workers,” said Paul Fronstin, Ph.D., director of health benefits research for the Employee Benefit Research Institute.

We deserve a healthcare system that works for us & can’t be taken away by any politician at the behest of the wealthy. If ACA tax credits expiring = more money spent on healthcare and less on groceries, or forgoing insurance entirely, we want to hear from you. Message us at stories@beaherofund.com.

Our healthcare shouldn’t be compromised to finance greedy corporations or billionaires looking for another tax cut.
We deserve a system that works for us and access to the care we need, no matter who we are or where we live.

All of us are patients, because all of us will need care at some point in our lives.
Whether it’s a chronic condition, a sudden illness, or routine care, all of us must navigate our healthcare system. And that’s why we deserve one that works for us.

How many more have to risk their lives for our lawmakers to finally scrounge up the moral and political will to fix our broken healthcare system?

It’s not normal to have to go into debt for healthcare. It’s not normal for insurance companies to decide whether or not you get the care you need.
It’s time to put our collective power into action and create a healthcare system that works for all.
