The Government Is Open, But the Fight for Affordable Healthcare Isn’t Over
Dear Friends,
As a national nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting individuals and families affected by chronic health conditions, we believe that access to affordable, quality healthcare is not a political issue, it’s a human one.
Now that the government has reopened, many people assume the crisis has passed. But the truth is, one of the most critical issues, the extension of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium tax credits, still hangs in the balance. Without these credits, millions of Americans could see their premiums double or lose coverage entirely.
This moment calls for unity and action, from all of us, Democrats, Republicans, and Independents may not agree on every policy, but we can all agree that no family should have to choose between paying for food, rent, or life-saving medicine.
The ACA isn’t perfect, but it provides a vital foundation for affordable coverage and protection for people with pre-existing and chronic conditions. Instead of tearing it down, we must protect and improve it so it continues to serve those who need it most.
Recently, eight senators, including Democrats and Independents, made the difficult decision to vote with Republicans to reopen the government. They did so to stop the suffering of families, restore critical programs like SNAP and food assistance, and ensure that negotiations to extend ACA tax credits could move forward. Their choice was one of compassion over politics, a reminder that progress sometimes begins with courage and compromise.
Now, it’s your turn to act.
Your voice can make a real difference in what happens next.
📞 Call, email, or write your legislators today and tell them:
Extend the ACA’s premium tax credits so coverage remains affordable.
Protect access to essential programs like SNAP and Medicaid.
Work together across party lines to strengthen our healthcare system, not weaken it.
Every message, every call, every voice counts. This is not the time to stand on the sidelines, it’s the time to speak up for what’s right. Please contact your representatives CLICK HERE
When the people lead, leaders follow. Together, we can make sure that compassion, fairness, and access to care remain at the heart of our nation’s values.
With gratitude and determination,
Kim
