If Congress doesn’t act and extend ACA tax credits, health insurance will get a lot more expensive for working New York families. Up to 80,000 New Yorkers could even lose their insurance due to skyrocketing costs.

Why is Medicaid so important for New Yorkers?

Because it covers nearly every kind of care for people who need it most.

From mental health services to home care, prescriptions to maternity care, Medicaid is a lifeline for millions across our state.

About half of ACA enrollees work for or own a small business.

For Angel, a small business owner in Georgia, the expiration of ACA tax credits — on top of new changes in Congress’s One Big Bill — means skyrocketing costs and shrinking options. https://n.pr/49d3EAS
With ACA open enrollment underway, some business owners worry about upcoming changes

What does a 38% increase really mean? That’s how much ACA premiums are set to rise for New Yorkers unless Congress extends critical tax credits — and open enrollment is already here.

For some families, that’s hundreds more each month just to keep their coverage.

“Devastating.”

Without action from Congress, Stacy Cox and her husband will see their monthly health insurance premium skyrocket from $495 to $2,168 in 2026.

No one should have to choose between healthcare and going broke.

Who relies on Medicaid? 1 in 3 New Yorkers.

But Congress’s One Big Bill includes the largest healthcare cut in U.S. history — and it would gut Medicaid, making care harder to access and more expensive for millions.

It’s been 40 days.

40 days since the government shut down.

40 days of Congress putting politics over people.

40 days of families threatened with slashed benefits.

There’s a simple solution:
Congress must extend critical ACA tax credits and protect access to affordable care.

If Congress does not extend crucial tax credits, George will end up owing an additional $1,750 per month in premiums for him and his family.

New Yorkers can’t afford this. Contact your lawmaker: protect ACA tax credits. https://healthcareeducationproject.org/your-health-insurance/

If you started open enrollment this weekend and realized your costs have skyrocketed – you’re not alone.

Congress has failed to extend vital tax credits that keep ACA plans affordable for our families. But there’s still time for them to act.
November 5, 2025 at 4:27 PM
Open enrollment began this weekend and New Yorkers are already seeing the warning signs: monthly insurance premiums are set to more than DOUBLE next year.

Congress can still stop insurance from skyrocketing by extending vital tax credits. https://ampr.gs/47hglcD

If ACA tax credits expire, families will face an impossible choice: groceries or healthcare.

With costs already soaring, losing these credits could push everyday Americans over the edge, forcing millions to sacrifice care just to get by.
