James from Austin told me the cost of his health insurance could jump from $142/month to $436/month — or $839/month if he goes with another policy.
“As a diabetic, bipolar, and with upcoming hernia surgery, I must have health coverage,” he said.

Marisol from San Antonio told me the total cost for her family’s plan could go from $1,777 to $2,948 — increased by 66%.
“We are kind of terrified. We’ve relied on the ACA for our family's health insurance for several years. But this may no longer be possible.”
Texans who get insurance from healthcare.gov can now see how much their plan will cost in 2026.
Prices are higher for MILLIONS because Republicans are getting rid of critical tax credits.
I asked Texans to share what this would mean for their family. ⬇️
On Veterans Day, I am reflecting on the service and sacrifice of all our veterans.
I'm proud to represent Military City USA and am so grateful to every Texan and every American who has served.
Ashley told me that if she loses her health insurance, she isn’t sure how she’ll afford her inhaler.
This is what Democrats are fighting for.

By law, Trump must pay SNAP benefits so families can afford groceries.
But Trump wants so badly to cut health care that he's breaking the law to use hungry families as leverage.
Democrats must fight back against — not give in to — this bullying.
This is your daily reminder that:
1. Republicans shut down the government;
2. to make sure that 15 million Americans lose health care and 20 million Americans’ health care premiums double;
3. all so that billionaires get tax cuts.
It’s that simple.
I’m fighting to bring back tax credits to make insurance more affordable.
I need to hear from you about how much your costs will go up if Congress fails to act.
If you pay for health care under the ACA and your costs are increasing, please fill out this quick survey:

Texans who use healthcare.gov to get insurance can now see how much their plan will cost for 2026.
For millions of people, prices are set to go up because Republicans are getting rid of critical tax credits.

If you pay for health care under the ACA, let me know your thoughts in this quick survey: forms.gle/5DJ1s9uQjNXM...
“I will go to the doctor less. I’ll need to spend less on groceries.”
— Grace in Austin
“In order to afford medical care we would have to restructure our entire life by moving or drain our small retirement accounts to get by for 2026.”
— Aerin in Austin
“I will no longer be able to treat my arthritis and I will have to pay for prescription medications out of my pocket. I will lose my doctors. I will have to go back to having no insurance.
I will have to pray every day that I don't get sick.”
— Laura in Kyle
“Without insurance another heart attack would bankrupt us.”
— Walt in San Antonio
“My son will not be able to get the surgery he desperately needs. I will have to pay out of pocket for preventative care and mental health care, adding stress and making me feel unsupported.”
— Joanie in Austin
“I may die sooner than I should have. My family will be devastated and left with a bill.”
— Fryda in San Antonio
“If I lose healthcare, I lose access to my CPAP supplies and maintenance care.
I don’t want to end up dying early like my dad or ailing for years like my mom.
This keeps me up at night. I’m terrified of what’s to come.”
— Arnold in Austin
🧵: Affordable Care Act health insurance premiums will double in 2026 if Trump and Republicans get their way.
Millions will lose coverage.
I asked folks in my district, “How would losing health insurance impact you and your family?”
Here’s what they said ⬇️
Do we have to sell our house in order to pay for me to have cancer?"
I talked with Anne in my district about what it would mean for her family's health care premiums to double next year if Republicans get their way.

13% of Texas kids don’t have health insurance.
Twice the national average — and it’s expected to get worse.
Health care should be a right, not a privilege.
