I thank Congresswoman Randall for sharing those stories. We are hearing these stories from all over the country, not just blue States, but also red States, everywhere. The Affordable Care Act tax credits keep healthcare affordable for all Americans. If the Senate does not act immediately, constituents like Stephen from Van Nuys will bear that burden. Stephen and his wife are both independent contractors who pay for their own health insurance. In 2026, they are facing a monthly increase of over $1,000 a month each. This is absolutely unacceptable in the United States.
