Extend the Affordable Care Act Premium Tax Credits - KEEP UP THE PRESSURE!
Update: 12/13/2025 - House Republicans have offered a 100-plus-page package that focuses on enhanced access to employer-sponsored health insurance plans for small businesses and would allow self-employed individuals to band together to purchase health coverage.
Though this plan may increase the leverage businesses have to negotiate lower rates, proposed insurance plans would provide skimpier coverage than what is currently required under the Affordable Care Act. Additionally, the emerging package from the House Republicans does not include an extension of the ACA premium tax credits.
Despite extremely high public support for extending Affordable Care Act subsidies, Republicans in the House and Senate refuse to take any action. Instead they keep promising an alternative to Obama Care, a promise they have made for years but never acted on. Their lack of action has contributed to soaring healthcare costs for all Americans. Congress must act immediately to preserve affordable health insurance for millions of Americans.
The enhanced tax credits for Affordable Care Act (ACA) plans, which have made health insurance affordable for millions, are set to expire at the end of 2025. If Congress fails to renew this funding, the nonpartisan CBO estimates that 4.2 million people will lose their health coverage by 2034.
Urge your senators and representatives to extend the ACA tax credits and preserve affordable healthcare coverage for millions of Americans.
Script:
Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [YOUR CITY].
I’m calling to ask [Representative Balderson] to include an extension of the ACA premium tax credits in any package being considered. Congress must act now to protect affordable health care before costs skyrocket and financially devastate millions of Americans. Your party has had years to address healthcare costs and have done nothing. I urge you to take action now!
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Ohio Senate
Please take time this week to call Ohio Senator Tim Schaffer
Senator Tim Schaffer, (614) 466-8076
Oppose HB 486, the Charlie Kirk American Heritage Act - KEEP UP THE PRESSURE ON OUR SENATOR!
On November 19th, in a completely partisan vote, the Ohio House passed HB 486. HB 486 was then introduced in the Ohio Senate on November 25th.
As noted by the ACLU, the goal of HB 486 is to promote Christianity to captive K-12 school students and adults in our colleges and universities under the guise of “reducing ignorance of American history, hate, and violence within our society.”
HB 486, which offers 24 examples of what sponsors believe are appropriate topics to be taught, is designed to paint Christianity in the most positive light while deliberately avoiding the negative impacts religion has had on our history. This would legislate avoidance of the biblical and religious justifications that were and are offered for enslaving others, denying racial minorities and gays and lesbians full participation in society, denying women and others the right to vote, the displacement and slaughter of native peoples when Europeans arrived, and the invasions and takeover of foreign lands and countries via “Manifest Destiny” and other religious rationales.
Also ignored are the numerous battles among Christian denominations regarding who was a “true” Christian, as well as the various policies and laws that regulated aspects of those Christian denominations and other faiths that were disfavored.
Script:
Hello, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [YOUR CITY].
I'm calling to ask that Senator Schaffer oppose HB 486. This unnecessary bill seeks to direct Ohio’s educators to distort history by removing any inconvenient facts regarding the role of religion in our country’s past.
Early American leaders opposed the government picking and choosing which versions of faith would prevail. They had it right all along: both religion and society flourish when the government remains neutral. Thank you for your time and consideration.
