Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández Demands GOP Restore Medicaid Funding and Extend ACA Premium Tax Credits

Healthcare Affordability Crisis

• 💡 A constituent named Jeff faces a drastic increase in health insurance premiums, from $520 to $2,600, which would consume 50% of his income, more than his mortgage.
• ⚠️ This situation highlights how rising healthcare costs in "Trump's America" make insurance more expensive than housing.
• 📌 Small business owners and working families cannot afford these escalating costs, forcing difficult choices about coverage.

The Need for Permanent Solutions

• 💬 Many voters are sharing personal stories about the hardship caused by current healthcare costs.
• 🤝 In New Mexico, Republicans collaborated with Democrats to pass a temporary fix for ACA premiums, but it only lasts until June 30th.

Call to Action for Congress

• 📢 Rep. Leger Fernández urges Republicans in Congress to demonstrate the same courage shown by their New Mexico counterparts.
• 🗣️ She implores them to listen to and stand up for their constituents by extending premium tax credits and restoring Medicaid cuts.
• 🌍 The goal is to ensure all individuals have access to affordable health coverage and the opportunity to live healthy lives, regardless of their location or political affiliation.
