***MEDIA ADVISORY FOR WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2025, AT 1:30 PM ET***
Washington, D.C. — On Wednesday, September 17, 2025 at 1:30 pm ET, leaders from the Democratic Women’s Caucus (DWC) including DWC Progressive Caucus Liaison Jill Tokuda (HI-02), DWC Vice Chairs Emilia Sykes (OH-13) and Hillary Scholten (MI-03), Democratic Whip Katherine Clark (MA-05) and Elena Hung, Founder of Little Lobbyists, will host a press call on the importance of protecting women and families’ access to affordable health care, especially as critical federal funding conversations ensue. This year, Trump and Republicans have dramatically cut our nation’s health care infrastructure, made the deepest Medicaid cuts in history, and set off a wave of hospital closures—on top of withholding funding for medical research and undermining vaccines.
Now, tax credits that help hardworking families afford their health insurance premiums are about to expire. If Republicans allow that to happen, the cost of health care will rise. The Democratic Women’s Caucus is committed to fighting for more affordable and accessible health care for women and families.
