We followed a court order and worked quickly to make sure that nearly 700,000 Wisconsinites who rely on FoodShare, including about 270,000 kids, had food to eat.
Now, President Trump wants to yank that money away from hungry kids, families, and seniors in Wisconsin? Hell no.

Republicans’ reckless decisions are causing prices to go up on everything from groceries to gas—Wisconsinites cannot afford to pay even more for healthcare, too.
Republicans must extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits and end this chaos. It’s that simple.

When families say they don’t know how they will afford life if Republicans jack up their health care costs, THIS is what they mean.
These are the prices that many families in Wisconsin will be forced to pay to get health care. This is what Republicans are OK with.

If Republicans in Congress don't extend the ACA tax credits, a family of four earning $130,000 in Dane County could see their healthcare premiums double in 2026.

This is the price that a family in Eau Claire will have to pay for their health care plan next year, thanks to Republicans. Does that look affordable to you?
This is the last thing families need on top of their already skyrocketing costs.

I visited Superior last week to hear from folks about what's on their minds.
One thing couldn't be clearer: if we don't extend Affordable Care Act tax credits, so many Wisconsinites will pay more for their coverage. Republicans in Congress must get this done.

You are reading that right. Some Wisconsinites could pay $30,000 more next year for the exact same health insurance.
