Alabama Workers: Speak Up for Affordable Health Care

If you rely on HealthCare.gov for your health insurance, enhanced tax credits are helping you afford coverage today. But these critical savings are set to expire on December 31, and for most Alabamians, monthly premiums could double.

Your voice matters. Sign a letter urging Alabama’s members of Congress to act now and prevent your health care costs from skyrocketing.

If you care about keeping your health care costs manageable, you should sign today.

Why this matters for Alabama workers

These tax credits are more than just a discount—they are the difference between:

  • Being able to see a doctor when you’re sick

  • Keeping your family covered in an emergency

  • Running a small business without losing employees to high health costs

  • Staying in the workforce as an independent or gig worker

Without action, families across Alabama could face impossible choices: skip care, go into debt, or go without insurance entirely.

What’s at stake:

  • Higher premiums for workers and families

  • Loss of access to doctors and medications

  • Small businesses struggling to retain staff

  • Independent and gig workers facing unaffordable coverage

Congress has the power to prevent these outcomes—but only if they hear from you, their constituents.
