Health insurance costs jumped for workers & employers in 2025.

This will get worse if the GOP refuses to extend ACA subsidies.

Meanwhile, the seven largest health insurance companies made a combined $71B in profits in 2024.

Still not sure we need Medicare for All?

Sanders: I am not a great fan of the affordable care act. I believe in medicare for all. I think that health care is a human right, but I will be damned if I'm going to see people in Vermont and around this country see a doubling in their premiums.

Trump and Republicans made devastating cuts to Medicaid and plan to let vital ACA subsidies expire.

Millions on Medicaid will lose coverage. Millions on ACA plans could see premiums rise by as much as 75%.

Every lie they tell about a shutdown is meant to cover this up.

She was paying $479 a month for her ACA health insurance.

Next year she will be paying *$2,800* a month for the same plan.

And it's all because Republicans decided to end ACA subsidies.

Expect to hear stories like this all across the country very soon.

Raiding retirement savings. Pondering job changes or even marriage. People who buy their own health insurance are strategizing ahead of major price hikes in 2026. Open enrollment starts Nov. 1.

The top 1% now owns more than $54 trillion in wealth.

That’s 468 times more than the bottom 50%.

One man — Elon Musk — owns more than the bottom half COMBINED.

This is what I mean when I talk about oligarchy.

The Big, Beautiful Bill throws 16 million off health care & decimates our already broken system. I have an amendment to do the opposite.

We EXPAND Medicare to cover dental, hearing & vision & pay for it by cutting prescription drug prices in half. Will any Republican support it?

This 940-page reconciliation bill has a list of horrific provisions. One of the worst is a $211 billion tax break to the top 0.2% who inherit $30 million.

In this bill 16 million lose health care & hungry kids lose nutrition. Meanwhile, billionaires get much richer. Disgusting.

We must not throw 16 million low-income and working class Americans off of the health care they have in order to give massive tax breaks to billionaires.

That is obscene.

Good morning.

If the Republican budget bill passes:

- 40% of the country will lose money
- 15 million people will lose their health care
- the richest families will get a $270,000 tax cut
- the debt will go up 2.4 TRILLION dollars

Who is asking for that??
