If you get health care through your employer, your premiums are going up by an average of 26% no matter what.
Why? Because insurers had to set rates under the assumption Congress won't extend the ACA tax credits, destabilizing the whole market.
All thanks to Republican inaction.

Republicans have been silent as Trump bulldozes the East Wing and posts videos bombing protesters with feces, but they called Democrats' effort to save health care for working families "political terrorism."
Give me a break.

We anticipate potentially 100,000 Washingtonians facing evacuation orders. The situation is fluid and changing all the time. We expect rivers to hit historic levels as early as 4 a.m. tomorrow, lasting into Friday morning.
Tomorrow, the Senate will vote to either save the ACA tax credits or not.
This will determine if premiums will skyrocket for millions of Americans.
Pay attention to see if Republicans vote to help or hurt regular Americans.
Here's what Republican leaders had to say about saving the ACA tax credits earlier this year...

NOTHING!
The ten states where health care premiums are jumping by the highest percentage are all Republican states. Every single one.
This is a MAGA health care hike--and yet Senate Republicans aren't willing to lift a finger to help their own constituents.

Here's what Tumwater Falls looks like today.
There’s flood warnings and watches all over the state with 26 rivers at risk of flooding. Make sure you’re following weather alerts near you. Put your ZIP code in at weather.gov to find the latest.
The Republican health care plan is like Squid Games for health care.
It would be easier to just ban tourism. Who besides Stephen Miller is asking for this?
Senate Republicans want to pass a backdoor abortion ban through the ACA by blocking PRIVATE insurance from covering abortion care.
This is not about Hyde—it's an unprecedented NEW attack on abortion access. Not on my watch.
The economy is losing jobs and prices are going up.
But the President, who has probably never shopped for groceries or paid an electricity bill, is saying this is an A+++++ economy.
It's insulting.
This week, Senate Republicans gave LIFETIME judicial appointments to more anti-abortion fanatics who support fetal personhood—the dangerous idea that a fetus should have the same rights as a pregnant woman.
They're hoping you don't notice. I won’t let this fly under the radar.
Trump wants to say affordability is a hoax, but he's a clueless billionaire grifter.
Everyone who actually buys their own groceries can tell you life is getting more expensive.
And not only are Republicans NOT doing ANYTHING to help—they're making things WORSE.
In moving a program from the Department of Education to the Department of Labor, we're now PAYING another department $1 million in additional taxpayer funds.
And now schools will have to deal with TWO federal agencies, instead of one.
Raising costs and increasing bureaucracy.
Premiums are set to skyrocket. It's not some thought exercise. The MAGA health care hike is a reality that millions are facing in this country right now.
And unless Republicans join us, higher premium costs for millions of American families will be locked in for good.
I told Trump's trade ambassador that Trump's insults and trade war have driven away Canadian visitors and dealt a serious blow to Washington state's economy.
There is quite simply NO reason for this.
We should not be picking fights with our close friends and allies. 🇺🇸🇨🇦
If Trump wasn't wrecking the economy with his stupid tariffs, farmers wouldn't need a bailout in the first place.
Oh and what's the GOP plan for all the farmers who get health care through the ACA whose premiums are skyrocketing?
Right, there is NO PLAN.
NOAA workers are literally flying into storms to make sure weather forecasters can get more accurate and up-to-date information that saves lives and property.
Fund NOAA. Terminate DOGE.
Trump has pardoned huge amounts of fraud and truly heinous crimes.
In particular, he's pardoned more corrupt elected officials than any other President, and it's not particularly close.
This President is a crook through and through.

A few weeks ago, my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. I won’t lie—it's been incredibly challenging for me and my family.
Now, I’m embarking on a journey to answer the questions so many of us face when it comes to providing care for our loved ones.
I hope you’ll join me.
