24 MILLION AMERICANS COULD LOSE AFFORDABLE HEALTH COVERAGE
Right now Congress is dangerously close to trading away affordable health care for more than 24 million hard working Americans in exchange for another tax cut for billionaires.
TAKE ACTION
Tell your Senator not to raise your health insurance costs.
CONGRESS IS MAKING HEALTH COVERAGE UNAFFORDABLE AND UNAVAILABLE
The “Big Beautiful” budget bill that is moving rapidly through Congress makes significant changes to the Affordable Care Act and would leave Americans with higher premiums and fewer choices.
For 15 years, the ACA Exchanges have made health insurance available to Americans but the “Big Beautiful” budget bill would change all of that. The bill fails to renew the enhanced premium tax credits that over 90% of ACA enrollees use to lower their costs and will destabilize the marketplace by ending how insurance companies award cost savings. In addition, the bill ends auto-enrollment in the ACA that “nearly half” of the 24 million people in the marketplace use and instead creates new burdensome regulations that make it more difficult to get health care coverage.
RAISING HEALTH INSURANCE COSTS ON AMERICANS
The “Big Beautiful” budget bill would “spike heath care costs” by up to $15,000 on the 24 million people who get their health insurance through the ACA marketplace.
The Senate is debating a plan that would lead to “a major premium increase for middle class families” so that politicians can give their millionaire donors a tax break worth over $89,000. For example, a 60 year old couple with a silver health plan earning $85,000 would owe an extra $15,400 for insurance while a 30 year old couple making $64,000 would pay an additional $3,500 for their bronze health plan.
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WILL BE IMPACTED BY THE “BIG BEAUTIFUL” BUDGET BILL
Americans from all walks of life will be hurt by this legislation, and over 24 million Americans would face significantly high premiums, with millions losing their health insurance.
Over 3.3 million small business owners and self-employed workers will see increased insurance premiums due to discrimination in how the legislation treats insurance from businesses. Rural Americans in some states could see their costs nearly double while “enrollees of all ages” would see an increase in health care premiums. In total, 8 million people could lose health insurance coverage overnight with hard working families forced to face the impossible choice between paying for health care or rent, groceries, and child care.
