If you've lost healthcare coverage, are paying more, or are worried about what comes next, we want to hear from you. Your story can help raise awareness about the real-life impact these healthcare changes are having on New Yorkers.

Over 5 million Americans have lost Medicaid or ACA coverage in the past year. The reason: federal cuts and the expiration of ACA subsidies under Trump's “One Big Bill.” In New York, 450,000 people are losing Essential Plan coverage today for the same reason.

⏰ Tomorrow, Essential Plan coverage changes for 450,000 New Yorkers. Check now to see if you or someone you know may be affected.

Medical debt is the #1 cause of bankruptcy in America, and more than 100 million Americans are carrying medical debt because healthcare costs have become unaffordable for too many families. It's time to put patients before insurance company profits.

After Congress allowed ACA subsidies to expire, health insurance premiums in New York are expected to rise by nearly 20%. Higher healthcare premiums could force more New Yorkers to skip prescriptions, or go without coverage altogether. https://bit.ly/4409CBh

Many New Yorkers may lose coverage July 1 without realizing it. This is happening because of Trump’s One Big Bill, which slashed New York’s healthcare funding.

New research from the West Health-Gallup Center found that less than half of Americans can consistently afford the healthcare and prescription medications they need. It's time to address the affordability crisis and make healthcare work for patients.

Don’t let Congress get away with slashing New York’s healthcare. On July 1, 450,000 New Yorkers will lose their health insurance because of cuts passed by Washington.
