"Republican leaders are facing growing calls from their members to extend a bucket of funding for the ACA that is slated to expire at the end of this year as some look to avert insurance premium hikes and millions of Americans losing health coverage." nbcnews.com/politics/congr…
I told a couple yesterday (60+, $85K Income) that their insurance would be going up $2K next year. That went well. This is going to get real ugly, real fast.
With growing interest in what will happen if enhanced ACA premium tax credits are allowed to expire at the end of this year, we have a calculator that estimates increased costs by zip code, income, and age. kff.org/interactive/ho…

Whether you call it the Big Beautiful Bill, Big Bad Bill, or something else, we’re deeply concerned about the budget bill Congress passed. Our blog has details about the impact in Texas — including 200,000 Texans losing insurance because of Medicaid cuts. txchildren.org/what-the-cuts-…

House & Senate Republicans have now passed a bill that will raise families' food & health care costs, increase poverty & hunger, take health coverage away from millions of ppl & drive up deficits - all to give costly tax cuts to the wealthy & corporations.

If Congress approves their "Big, Beautiful Bill", 22.3M families across the country will lose some or all SNAP benefits. Around 3.2M Texans rely on SNAP for food assistance, including 1.8M children. We can't accept decisions that force our children into hunger. @LynnCowlesETX

20 million people are covered under the ACA’s Medicaid expansion. Eliminating the enhanced federal match for expansion coverage would cause many states to pull back, leaving millions uninsured.
Millions of families could see higher health costs or lose benefits altogether as the Senate proposal slashes #Medicaid and #ACA marketplace subsidies and shifts costs onto states.
