Tell the U.S. Senate to extend the expired ACA tax credits now!

This week is a milestone to celebrate (and to activate)! It’s the 16th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act (ACA)—a law that transformed health care by expanding coverage to tens of millions of people and added critical protections, like banning insurers from treating being a woman as a “pre-existing condition” (we kid you not!).

But this anniversary comes with urgency: At the start of 2026, Republicans in Congress let some of the ACA’s tax credits expire, and families are now paying the price. Due to the pressure of moms and parents like you, the ACA tax credit extension passed the House. Now, we need your help to keep the pressure on the Senate to lower health care costs!

On this anniversary of the ACA, we’re committed to staying in the fight for affordable health care! Call your Senator to ask the Senate to hold a vote to renew the expired ACA tax credits!

Dear Senator,

In honor of the 16th Anniversary of the Affordable Care Act, we call on the U.S. Senate to immediately hold a vote to renew the ACA tax credits that expired at the start of this year.

The consequences of inaction are no longer theoretical: Since the expiration of the enhanced ACA tax credits, Marketplace enrollment is already down by over 1 million sign-ups. [1] Premiums have doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled, imposing an average additional cost of $1,016 per year on individuals already struggling with the rising cost of living. We cannot afford to wait while more Americans forego coverage due to the skyrocketing costs of health care and basic necessities like rent and groceries. Without the enhanced ACA tax credits, an estimated 4 million Americans will be priced out of the market entirely. [3]

The U.S. House of Representatives has already taken bipartisan action in January to extend these credits for three years. We urge the Senate to follow their lead and hold a vote to renew the ACA tax credits to make health care affordable for millions of Americans.
