Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz) said rising health insurance costs are forcing Americans off coverage after enhanced subsidies tied to the Affordable Care Act expired, warning policymakers failed to prevent predictable premium hikes.
ACA Premiums Spike, Millions Lose Coverage
On Wednesday, Kelly posted on X, criticizing President Donald Trump and GOP lawmakers for their inaction.
“Trump and Republicans knew what would happen if they let health care premiums skyrocket: Americans wouldn’t be able to afford it and families would lose their insurance. Now it’s happening, and they still have no solution,” Kelly wrote.
He added, “We must keep fighting to bring down the cost of health care.”
Kelly shared A Wall Street Journal report confirms the scope of the problem: nearly 10% of people enrolled in ACA plans last year dropped coverage after premium increases made insurance unaffordable.
