CALL: Tell Your Senators and Majority Leader Thune to Stop Health Care Price Spikes
The House just passed a three-year extension of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies to stop out-of-pocket insurance prices from doubling—or more—for most people who get their insurance through the marketplace.
Thousands of supporters have made calls, and workers’ voices are making a difference. The pressure is working.
Now it’s the Senate’s turn. The Senate also needs to extend these tax credits and stop these devastating health care price spikes from affecting working families who are already struggling to pay bills.
President Trump and his allies in Congress should never have allowed crucial ACA subsidies to expire in December. Working people have been clear: We will not accept higher health care costs, lost jobs or bare-bones coverage offered as a solution to this self-inflicted price hike imposed by President Trump and his congressional allies.
The Senate MUST extend ACA credits to stop these devastating health care price spikes. Please call your senators to make your voice heard: 262-235-7524.
Unless a compromise is reached, millions could be priced out of their insurance and lose coverage altogether. And when fewer people can afford insurance and more rely on emergency rooms for care, health care costs will ultimately rise for everyone—including people who get health insurance through their jobs.
The last thing families need is for health care bills to soar at a time when we’re also dealing with rising costs for food, housing, electricity, gas and other necessities.
The voices of working people are clear on this issue, and together, we can make a difference. Please call your senators and tell them to extend the ACA tax credits NOW! Call 262-235-7524.
Our message is simple: Stop the health care price spikes that working families are facing.
Here are some talking points to help you, if you choose to use them, during your call:
- If Congress fails to act:
- Millions will face skyrocketing prices, and millions more could lose health care altogether. Insurance premium costs are expected to spike by an estimated 114% for some 22 million people.
- As millions lose coverage because of the cuts to Medicaid and the ACA price hikes, everyone will be forced to pay more for health care. Hospitals and clinics will absorb and pass along the money they lose, driving up out-of-pocket costs for everyone—whether they get their insurance coverage through work or the ACA marketplace.
- Combined with the Trump-backed Medicaid cuts passed in 2025, 179 million people with job-based insurance could see their health care costs rise by as much as $485 per year. That’s a price hike of nearly $2,000 annually for a family of four.
- More hospitals, nursing homes and clinics could close. A second tidal wave of red ink for the health care system would make the devastating health cuts passed in last year’s Big Ugly Bill even worse, forcing hospitals, nursing homes and community health clinics to close.
- Another 130,000 jobs in health care could be destroyed, pushing job losses in that sector to 607,000 when combined with those lost due to more than $900 billion in Medicaid cuts that the Trump administration and its allies in Congress passed in 2025.
