Time is running out for people like Aidalis. If Congress fails to extend the enhanced ACA tax credits before they expire, millions will face unaffordable premiums & loss of coverage. Congress must protect healthcare, extend the tax credits, & reverse the deadly cuts to Medicaid!

“My healthcare costs are gonna skyrocket. I might have to drop out of the program,” says Lauren from Bucks County. If Congress lets the enhanced tax credits expire at the end of 2025, millions could lose coverage, and costs will spike for EVERYONE.
We say: No #HealthcareHeist!

Cutting funding and failing to extend the ACA tax credits will make health care more expensive for everyone. People like Denise in Northampton county want affordable insurance that allows them to get the care they need, not catastrophic insurance at astronomical costs.

We held a press conference yesterday w/ advocates, legislators, & impacted residents to call out the Republican-led Medicaid cuts and expiration of ACA tax credits, both of which are driving up health care costs across PA. The shutdown isn’t about politics—it’s about our health care #ProtectOurCare
A latino man stands at a lectern on a stage, people around him hold signs reading read “Stop the healthcare heist” and “federal and state republicans have left hardworking pennsylvanians with: no heat, no food, no healthcare, no livable wages.” and another large poster features a map with snap recipients rate by county. A Black man stands at a lectern on a stage, looking thoughtful as he speaks to the crowd, people around him hold signs reading read “Stop the healthcare heist” and “federal and state republicans have left hardworking pennsylvanians with: no heat, no food, no healthcare, no livable wages.” and another large poster features a map with snap recipients rate by county.

Did you know? There is a major judicial election this year in PA! Our state Supreme Court makes decisions on issues like education funding, abortion access, workers rights, and housing affordability. Let's fight for fair and impartial judges who protect our rights! On Nov. 4th, #ProtectPACourts
Did you know, PA’s highest courts are on the ballot this year? Courts have a direct impact on our lives. Reproductive access, tenants' rights, workers rights, environmental protections.

Enhanced Premium Tax Credits help over 20M ppl get health coverage. Many are already stretching every dollar — they can’t afford higher premiums or more debt.

Join us in urging Congress to make health care tax credits permanent & repeal cuts passed earlier this year: commcat.io/467vrRn
#CareNotCuts
text in bright red box reads “tell members of Congress to repeal the harmful cuts they passed and make PTCs permanent.” text above that reads “Millions are already stretching every dollar - they can’t afford higher premiums or more medical debt. Enhanced Premium tax credits (PTCs) help more than 20 million people get affordable health coverage

Congressman Bresnahan voted to cut Medicaid and SNAP funding, all to give tax breaks to the super rich. Over 150 people came together in Scranton for our “Broken Vows Town Hall” to speak out and organize - joined by the @fairshareamerica.bsky.social “Stop the Billionaire Giveaway” tour bus!

Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law 60 years ago today.

Both programs have saved countless lives, and are extremely popular.

But now, both are under attack from the Trump admin and Republican leaders in Congress, so they can pay for tax giveaways to billionaires and big corporations.
Medicaid covers: 41% of all births in the US. 61% of long term care. 38% of health care for children. Republicans voted to cut healthcare for parents, seniors, and kids.

Programs like Medicaid and SNAP aren’t just line items, they're LIFELINES that most of us will use some time in our life. The big, ugly budget bill would slash federal funding, taking food assistance away from between 400k and 1.1 MILLION PEOPLE in PA. It MUST be stopped! Take action: bit.ly/40xhrh7
Text reads: If congress cuts SNAP….up to 1.1 million people in PA could have their food assistance.” with a collage of desaturated photos of families, individuals, seniors, and kids grocery shopping, eating, living their lives. “up to 1.1 million” is in very large text on a red background

The last PA stop for the @fairshareamerica.bsky.social bus tour was Pittsburgh, and people in Pittsburgh agree: Billionaires don’t need tax breaks! We should be investing in what helps our neighbors and communities thrive: housing, healthcare, food, good public schools, & more. #NoBillionaireBailOut
A woman is speaking passionately into a microphone, at a lectern with a sign reading “stop the billionaire giveaway.” She is outdoors and in dappled sunlight in front of a large green wrapped bus that reads “A fair share for Americans” A diverse group of people stand under a pavilion outdoors, all facing the same direction towards a speaker who is out of frame A man and a woman stand at a microphone and a lectern, holding a banjo and an acoustic guitar and smiling. Behind them are people signing the side of a large green wrapped bus. A dramatic shot of people gathered under a pavilion, the person in the front holds a hand made protest sign reading “Big Bullshit Bill Benefits Billionaires.” Another holds a handmade sign reading “Eat the rich, feed the poor, fund Medicaid.”

Yesterday, the “Stop the Billionaire Tax Giveaway” tour rolled into Harrisburg, met by @seiuhcpa.org, @ppadvocatespa.bsky.social, and activists from around the region! Plus, @senatorcosta.com and @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social, standing up for their constituents—and against the billionaire giveaway!
A group stands in front of a green wrapped bus, parked in front of the PA state capitol building. A man with long white hair and beard stands at a lectern and holds a stringed instrument, many people are gathered behind him. A large crowd stands outside in a semi circle, most in the shade. In the background you can see a giant, inflatable cartoon cat with a topcoat. PA Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta stands with Kristen Crowell, Kenyatta is holding a marker and writing on a large, green wrapped bus. you can see many other signatures and messages already written on it. Senator Jay Costa speaks at a lectern with people out of focus behind him, a sign on the lectern reads “stop the billionaire giveaway”

The next stop on the @fairshareamerica.bsky.social “Stop the Billionaire Tax Giveaway" bus tour was Scranton! We gathered yesterday afternoon to say NO cuts to Medicaid or SNAP in exchange for tax breaks for billionaires. Communities across PA are DONE sacrificing so the ultra-rich can get richer!
a crowd stands in a grassy park with tree coverage, some seated and some standing, several holding protest signs. An older woman stands holding a closed umbrella, she has a “Fair taxes now!” sign tucked under her purse strap so it sits in front of her torso. You can see other people, slightly out of focus, with protest signs. Photograph of a sign taped to someone’s back, it reads “People over Profit” in red and black lettering. She is standing in a crowd of people facing away from the camera and towards someone speaking. A dozen people are standing by a large, bright green bus that reads “stop the billionaire giveaway.” About 5 people are holding markers and signing the side of the bus, where there are other signatures and messages.
