“Because our nonprofit needs better funding, I can’t even keep the folks working for me in health coverage, least of all myself," rural organizer Warren Tidwell tells Cover Alabama storyteller Whit Sides. https://t.co/AUCEnvs2fT
"Representatives from #CoverAlabama and @FamiliesUSA will discuss how recent federal policy changes affect the state’s potential role in funding Medicaid expansion," Citizen of East Alabama reports. #alpolitics https://t.co/F5QPrOmFHj
Health coverage for hundreds of thousands of Alabamians is in jeopardy. We need your help to keep families covered across our state! Please take a moment to urge your U.S. House member to vote YES to keep health coverage affordable.

"For the people who are about to lose their health coverage, there is a solution that’s right there. Congress can act now to help these individuals,” #CoverAlabama's @debekmiller tells @SavannahTF at @aldotcom. https://t.co/F1y7WmsdAK
Monthly marketplace premiums could rise significantly if Congress doesn't act. If you are a worker who depends on https://t.co/80ufPE4P9Q, sign your name to this letter. https://t.co/VveiGLwEdL
📢TAKE ACTION: Call Sens. Britt and Tuberville TODAY to prevent outrageous price increases to https://t.co/80ufPE4hki plans. https://t.co/pkJoQhqVLU
“That’s insane, $7,000 to $32,000, you might as well not even have health coverage at that point. And I’d say that’s a pretty moderate income for a household of two," @debekmiller tells @ALReflector. #alpolitics https://t.co/ec3FiNcUA8
Congress needs to come to the table and undo the damage before [state] families pay the price. Step #1 is for lawmakers to extend Premium Tax Credit enhancements to prevent SCARY health care costs hikes for over 20 million Americans.
This year, Congressional Republicans passed a CHILLING tax and budget law that takes aim at Alabama families.
😱 Hikes up health care costs for 20 million people
🎃 Cuts families’ food assistance and raises grocery costs
👿 Takes health care away from 15 million people
⚡ Drives up household energy bills
🧛 Makes us foot the bill for HUGE tax giveaways for the ultra wealthy
"Losing (ePTCs) would mean hundreds of thousands of Alabamians could no longer afford coverage. This would widen the gap between those who can see a doctor and those who cannot," @debekmiller explains Alabamians can expect for open enrollment htis year.

Virginia and other Alabamians monthly premiums for https://t.co/80ufPE4hki Marketplace plans will increase significantly next year.
Urge Congress to extend the tax credits that will keep health care affordable for 400,000 Alabamians. https://t.co/NQ3RG8NIUu
Premium Tax Credits make health care affordable for 20M+ people. If they expire, millions won’t be able to get care.
Join us in urging Congress to make health care tax credits permanent & repeal the health care cuts they passed in July: https://t.co/TnCQHSyvcH

“These are small business owners, older adults and working families who can’t absorb a hike in premiums. Congress has the power to prevent this crisis," Cover Alabama director @debekmiller tells the @ALReflector. #alpolitics #CoverAlabama https://t.co/PkNP17DHaW
“Hundreds of thousands of residents already fall into the ‘coverage gap,’ unable to afford private insurance but ineligible for Medicaid. The expiration of ePTCs would leave even fewer options for affordable coverage," Cover Alabama's letter reads.
An Alabama medical advocacy coalition raised the alarm regarding potential Affordable Care Act premium increases, citing concerns for nearly half a million Alabamians. https://t.co/2oxLmmXh6v
If the “Big Beautiful Bill” passes, Alabama’s already strained health care system could collapse further.
Hospitals will close. People will become uninsured. Lives will be lost.
We need to stop it.
Take action: contact your lawmakers today. https://t.co/Vwn0AQ5Kku
📉 Alabama could lose $619 million in federal health care funding under the proposed “big beautiful bill” — denying Medicaid expansion coverage to more than 200,000 veterans, college students, and caregivers.
This is wrong.
