James Davis, 55, who grows cotton, soybeans, and corn in northern Louisiana, says that the cost of coverage for him and his wife quadrupled in 2026, jumping to about $2,700 a month. Congress can – and should – act to reinstate the enhanced subsidies.
Farmers Now Owe a Lot More for Health Insurance - KFF Health News
More than a quarter of the agricultural workforce purchases health insurance through the individual marketplace, a much larger share than the overall percentage of U.S. adults. After a tough year for farmers, the loss of enhanced ACA subsidies is putting health insurance out of reach for many.

Yesterday, 17 Republicans voted to extend the enhanced ACA subsidies, including 3 from PA! The only reason they did is because people like you kept up the pressure. This is our victory. Let’s keep up the momentum as the action turns to the Senate!

A vote is happening TODAY to renew the enhanced ACA tax credits - lifelines that help millions afford health insurance. Without them, nearly 300,000 Pennsylvanians will lose their coverage and prices will skyrocket for *everyone* regardless of how you're insured.
We say no #HealthcareHeist!

Healthcare costs shouldn’t be a surprise!

People are already struggling. If Congress doesn’t act NOW to renew the enhanced ACA tax credits, prices will skyrocket for EVERYONE & hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians will lose health insurance.

Our lives are on the line.
