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 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 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.

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 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.

💸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.

The message is clear — Congress must extend the enhanced premium tax credits, stop the premium spikes and protect affordable health care! #CareNotCuts #LowerHealthCareCostsNow

Republicans failed to extend Affordable Care Act credits that help over 22 million people get coverage.

Now, those folks are going to (literally) pay the price for the GOP’s choice to prioritize tax cuts for billionaires over public health.

Here's just a few of their stories.

Healthcare coverage is the difference between people seeing a doctor and skipping care when they need it. These price hikes are going to leave millions of people poorer and sicker. bsky.app/profile/econ...
🩺 Janet from IL has a medical implant that costs her $580 a month - in addition her $900/mo insurance premiums and $350/mo supplemental insurance for her husband.

Without ACA tax credits, she can't afford that implant, but she definitely can't afford a $36,000 surgery to take it out either.

Thousands of Pennsylvanians are seeing the cost of health insurance spike bc some in Congress would rather shut down the government than protect affordable health care. Hear from home care worker Lynn on the importance of affordable healthcare for workers AND patients. No #HealthcareHeist!

One thing looks different this open enrollment season: health care premiums have skyrocketed. Affordable Care Act tax credits that lower costs for millions are in limbo while Republican leadership in Congress refuses to continue them. Everyone deserves access to health care, not a #HealthcareHeist.

💵 Tiffany is doing her best to make sure her family of four can get the care they need. She’s already paying too much money for her family’s health insurance: $12,000 a year! And that’s BEFORE all her out-of-pocket medical costs.
