This CA couple's @coveredca.bsky.social premiums are going up 800% 👀 They are now considering moving to a foreign country to get health care. Or going uninsured. House Republicans must act NOW to restore funding and put Californians’ health care before politics.
One couple is seeing costs go from $4,200 this year to $26,652 next year.

Hospitals are shutting down Gender-Affirming Care out of fear, not facts.
GAC is an Essential Health Benefit protected under CA’s Trans Inclusive Care Act (SB 923).
Refusing care = violating rights.
TGI people deserve affirming, consistent, lifesaving care.

Faced with impossible rates, consumers skip care or take on medical debt.
"That's why #OHCA set a spending target that aligns with consumers' ability to pay."
