About this event Families across America are struggling to keep up with rising costs of groceries, housing, and utilities. Now, Trump and Republicans in Congress have made it worse—slashing over $1 trillion from Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act this summer, sending premiums soaring and threatening coverage for millions. The results are devastating: Up to 150,000 residents could lose health coverage next year if Congress fails to extend the tax credits that keep insurance affordable. Pennie executive director Devon Trolley warns that without these credits, “costs will rise sharply, forcing nearly half a million people to choose between their health and their financial security.” Premiums for Pennie enrollees would jump about 82% on average.
