Republicans let ACA subsidies expire, now insurers want to hike premiums by 15%. Millions could lose coverage and not get the care they need. We don’t need excuses. We need health care.

Whether it’s 80,000 or 30,000 people, VA staff cuts still mean fewer workers to care for those who served our country. Abandoning our veterans now is a disgrace.
U.S. Veterans Affairs will cut nearly 30,000 jobs, far fewer than planned
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs will make two-thirds fewer employee cuts this fiscal year than it first targeted, reducing staff by about 30,000 people rather than 80,000, the agency said on Monday.
