How the Shutdown Could Break Your Insurance

The ongoing government shutdown isn’t about protecting taxpayers from covering immigrant healthcare, it’s about dismantling affordable coverage for everyone else. By blaming Democrats and pushing false claims about federal spending, Republican leaders are laying the groundwork to roll back key provisions of the Affordable Care Act. If their plan moves forward, premium tax credits will vanish, deductibles will rise, and millions of working families could see their health insurance costs soar. What they call reform is really a reshuffle one that breaks the rules of government neutrality and the budgets of the American people.
