Political Quotes

On the recordJanuary 8, 2026
in Illinois, there are 465,000 people who depend on the Affordable Care Act to acquire health insurance. For the past several years, the majority of them have used enhanced Federal tax credits to lower the cost. In my district alone, 19,000, or 57 percent, will see the cost of their policy go up $696, without the Federal tax credits. In Austin, Mary will pay an additional $300 per month. On the North Side, Emily will pay an additional $150 a month, raising her cost to $600. Beginning January 1, Rebecca will pay $796 a month. This is totally unacceptable. All of these are too high. Let's make healthcare available to the American people. Let's pass today, not tomorrow, not the next day, the Federal tax credits.
