18 State-Based #ACA exchange send blistering letter denouncing the House GOP budget bill

The following letter was just sent to both Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson and Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries: Dear Speaker Johnson and Leader Jeffries: For over a decade, State-Based Marketplaces have provided private health coverage to tens of millions of Americans, ensuring their health, well-being, and economic security. The Americans who depend on the Marketplaces include working parents, small business owners, farmers, gig workers, early retirees, and lower and middle-class individuals of all ages, political views, and backgrounds who drive our local economies and make both our rural and urban communities thrive. The legislation under consideration in the House will severely impact the ability of these millions of Americans to continue to access this coverage and the health and financial security they depend on today. This will make for a sicker, less financially secure American public and strain hospitals and health care providers by increasing uncompensated care. The stability of the American health care system and the economic security of millions of Americans are on the line due to the proposed changes to Marketplaces, and this risk is further compounded by proposed cuts to Medicaid and the impending expiration of Enhanced Premium Tax Credits.
