Republicans are talking a big game about affordability lately, but talk is cheap, and healthcare isn't.

And that's because the GOP committed a healthcare heist. But we're not standing for it.

It's too late to stop much of the damage from Republicans' disastrous choice to let ACA costs double or even triple, but Congress has one last chance to stem the bleeding.

Call your House Reps. and tell them to vote YES on a 3-year ACA tax credit extension.

It's 2026, and healthcare costs for over 22 million people have officially gone through the roof - all thanks to Republicans.

It's not fair, it's not right, and we're not going to stand for it.

Republicans prove their affordability talk is cheap as Senate vote fails to stop healthcare costs from doubling - Economic Security Project Action

Republicans are talking a big game when it comes to "affordability" lately, but they just blew their biggest chance to actually do something about it.

Thanks to the Senate GOP, monthly healthcare bills will double or even triple for millions of people on January 1st.

Alaska lawmakers talk a lot about supporting small business owners.

But it's time to put their money where their mouth is.

Congress must extend ACA tax credits THIS WEEK to stop healthcare costs from skyrocketing on Jan 1.

A few weeks ago, Iowans visited Sen. Ernst's office to plead with her to stop the #healthcareheist.

This summer, Sen. Ernst voted to gut Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act to give billionaires over $1 trillion in tax cuts.

That means higher bills and coverage losses for working Iowans.

Republicans still have a chance to fix the healthcare crisis they created when they passed their big, ugly tax law. But time is running out.

They're paying lip service to affordability while they dither and delay, but Americans can't wait.

It's time to extend the ACA tax credits now.

Republican healthcare cuts will devastate Iowa soon.

💸 Avg. premiums will nearly TRIPLE next year
🩺 10,000 Iowans won't be able to afford coverage
🏥 18 hospitals are at risk of closing

The worst part? It's all preventable misery.

Republicans have a chance, right now, right in front of them, to do something about the affordability crisis and show hardworking Americans that they're fighting for them.

But they're not doing it because they're too busy fighting for their billionaire donors instead.

Extending ACA tax credits would:

💵 Stop monthly healthcare costs from doubling or even TRIPLING for 22 million people on Jan. 1
🩺 Make sure folks can still see a doctor without going into debt
📈 Save jobs in communities that need them - especially rural ones.

So why aren't Republicans doing it?
December 3, 2025 at 10:15 PM
Republicans are talking about "affordability" a lot more lately. But without action to give Americans some relief from skyrocketing bills, that's just a word.

Republicans could act TODAY to cut costs for working families, boost the economy, and improve public health. So far, they're doing nothing.

We visited Capitol Hill with Lauren, a small business owner, proud Pennsylvanian, and ACA recipient.

Lauren pleaded with her GOP reps to help hardworking Americans like her, and extend ACA tax credits that help her afford healthcare.

They claimed to care. But talk is cheap, and healthcare isn't.

Our lawmakers should be working hard to figure out how to lower healthcare costs that are already squeezing people like Philippa, not making it even more expensive and difficult to get life-saving care.

The GOP took away Affordable Care Act credits that help millions get coverage. Now, she’s about to pay 20% of her income in premiums alone.

😡The ACA helped saved Philippa’s life. Her treatment would’ve cost $150k w/o insurance, but thanks to the ACA, she paid $3k. - and that’s still a LOT of money.

💸Philippa is a writer, artist, and breast cancer survivor who buys her own health insurance.

Right now, she pays about $724 a month for insurance. But thanks to Trump and Republicans in Congress, her bill will soon skyrocket to $1267 a month - almost DOUBLE.

😡Because of GOP cuts to healthcare and food assistance, Lauren’s monthly health bills will more than double, and she doesn’t know how her brother will eat.

Lauren is upset, and she's calling on Republicans to come back to DC and fight for families like hers.

🛒 Healthcare is life, and so is food. Lauren’s disabled brother receives SNAP benefits that are currently frozen by the Trump administration. This food assistance helps him live a dignified life and volunteer in his community.

🏥 When Lauren lost her job, the Affordable Care Act was there to keep her covered. Thanks to tax credits that help millions afford health insurance, she was able to get an annual mammogram that she needs for free instead of paying thousands out of pocket.
