This isn’t abstract. It’s your monthly premium.
After December 31, 2025, the enhanced ACA health care premium credits are scheduled to expire — meaning there could be major cost increases starting January 1, 2026.
Republicans have full control over the government.
If they wanted to protect affordable health care for millions of Americans, they could.
If they wanted to extend the ACA premium subsidies that keep families' monthly costs manageable, they could.
But once again, they haven't lifted a finger.
Instead of acting before the deadline, Republican leadership is blocking votes and stalling negotiations — even as millions of Americans are staring down premium hikes they simply can't afford. These enhanced ACA subsidies don't expire in theory — they expire in reality, in people's budgets, at the pharmacy counter, and when families open their bills next month.
This is a critical moment. People are worried right now about how they'll pay for doctor visits, prescriptions, and insurance premiums — and the party in charge is choosing dysfunction over doing their jobs. At a bare minimum, we should expect our leaders to show up and prevent a completely avoidable health care crisis.
That's why 2026 matters so much.
If we want a government that actually works for people who work hard every day — a government that protects affordable health care instead of playing political games with it — we have to take back the House.
For months, Republicans have made it clear that cutting services and blocking solutions is part of their playbook. Now, they've taken it one step further — allowing ACA subsidies to expire and putting millions of Americans at risk of losing affordable coverage altogether.
The deadline is here. The consequences are real. And they still have the power to act — if they choose to.
In solidarity,
Jim
