Congressman Greg Casar
@repcasar.bsky.social
Representing the heart of Texas from East Austin to West San Antonio #TX35. Chair of @USProgressives.bsky.social. Labor organizer. Lover of migas and long runs, just not at the same time.
These are just a few of the stories I heard from working Texans. But their pain is being felt across the country.

I won’t support any “deal” that doesn’t make health care more affordable.

Anything else is a betrayal of millions of Americans.

Health care premiums for Patricia’s family in Buda would be $400 higher every month.

“We have a four year old and I am in school. Not having insurance is scary, but we can't afford it,” she told me.

Jessalynn from San Antonio said her family will have to lose their current plan — because they can’t afford another $300 a month in premiums.

“That’s not even counting the medications we have to be on and can't afford to stop taking.”

John from Kyle: “We're dropping health insurance entirely. Screw the GOP for sabotaging health care in America.”

His monthly payment was $1,260 in 2025.

If Trump and Republicans get their way, he would pay $1,767 a month in 2026.

James from Austin told me the cost of his health insurance could jump from $142/month to $436/month — or $839/month if he goes with another policy.

“As a diabetic, bipolar, and with upcoming hernia surgery, I must have health coverage,” he said.

Marisol from San Antonio told me the total cost for her family’s plan could go from $1,777 to $2,948 — increased by 66%.

“We are kind of terrified. We’ve relied on the ACA for our family's health insurance for several years. But this may no longer be possible.”

I’m fighting to bring back tax credits to make insurance more affordable.

I need to hear from you about how much your costs will go up if Congress fails to act.

If you pay for health care under the ACA and your costs are increasing, please fill out this quick survey:

“In order to afford medical care we would have to restructure our entire life by moving or drain our small retirement accounts to get by for 2026.”

“I will no longer be able to treat my arthritis and I will have to pay for prescription medications out of my pocket. I will lose my doctors. I will have to go back to having no insurance.

I will have to pray every day that I don't get sick.”
