It’s not politics. It’s your kid’s doctor visits. Your mom’s cancer screening. It’s deeply personal. And the letters being sent to Michiganders about price increases aren’t some made-up line. People know their pocketbooks. And they certainly know when politicians are trying to sell them a line.

The House has been out 28 straight days. Paid. And @SpeakerJohnson is dismissing the health care crisis as ‘just politics.’

Sen. Elissa Slotkin: "We want to sit in a room and have a negotiation. We don't want to negotiate through the press. I don't need to watch Senator Thune on TV in order to find out what he says he's offering. Just get in a room like adults do and we can talk this out."
Intern with Senator Slotkin!
🚨Deadline to apply is October 27th🚨

A retired couple from Gaylord, who are on a fixed income, told me that if healthcare.gov credits aren’t extended, they believe their costs will go up 40 to 60 percent!

Michigan's auto industry is the lifeblood of our economy. Whenever any Big 3 auto company invests millions of dollars to create new auto jobs in my state – that’s a good day for Michigan. This announcement solidifies Stellantis’ commitment to Michigan. bridgemi.com/business-wat...
President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill is causing a health care crisis.
We want to have a conversation like adults and talk about health care.
A child care business owner. A retiree from Jackson. A clergy member from mid-Michigan. These are the health care stories Michiganders shared with me.

We are on the verge of a health care crisis, where over 15 million could lose health care and President Trump still refuses to negotiate to end the govt shutdown. But today, he celebrated a $20 billion taxpayer-funded bailout to his buddy in Argentina. abcnews.go.com/Internationa...
A clergy member in mid-Michigan told me that her employer provided insurance will go up next year. She said the plan for her and her husband will cost $2,244 MORE a year ($160 a month) for the same coverage in 2026. Share your story at: slotkin.senate.gov/letters
This is a common story. People still don’t know HOW MUCH they will pay, but know it is going to be more. A woman from Houghton wrote in and told me she was ONLY able to afford insurance because of the healthcare.gov tax credits and now is worried she will have to drop it. She received this letter.

Sharing a few of the messages I’ve received from Michiganders about how rising health care costs will impact them and their families.
This shouldn’t be a partisan issue. We must work together to help folks access the health care they need.
Reposted bySenator Elissa Slotkin
The Affordable Care Act is a lifeline for Michiganders like Alana. After being laid off, she was able to afford health care for her family while finding new work because of the ACA premium tax credits.
This is why we are fighting to make health insurance more affordable.
Several people wrote in about insurers leaving the healthcare.gov marketplace, which gives people fewer options. A man from Berkley sent me this letter he received from his provider that is leaving the marketplace.

U.S. Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Holly) called a new policy enacted by President Donald Trump “unprecedented” and “straight out of an authoritarian playbook, where the President gets to play judge, jury and executioner” in a speech on the Senate floor on Oct. 8.
Story from @kdailey.bsky.social
Today is a day for celebration. After two years, the Israeli hostages are coming home and, with hope, the conflict and death can end on all sides. I remain hopeful this agreement can continue to build small ounces of trust that gets to a lasting peace for both the Israeli and Palestinian people.
A retiree from Jackson, who is too young for Medicare, told me he found out that without the healthcare.gov tax credits, his payments are going up $1500 a month! From $440 to $1,900.

A child care provider in Ypsilanti told me the group plan for her, her family and her small number of employees is going up $469 per month. She is thinking about dropping insurance entirely because she can’t afford it.
