***MEDIA ADVISORY FOR OCTOBER 15, 2025***
Today, Protect Our Care is holding events in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania to urge Republicans to stop the chaos and destruction of American health care and protect hard-working families. Donald Trump and Republicans are holding the government hostage in order to end the health insurance tax credits and continue their barrage of attacks on health care. If Republicans gut the tax credits, 24 million Americans who buy insurance on their own will see their premiums skyrocket, with most families paying more than double for their health care while millions more stand to lose coverage as a result of the GOP’s Medicaid cuts. Democrats have made clear that they are ready to vote for bipartisan budgets that stop this pain, but won’t be complicit in hurting the American people.
