Act Now: Protect Health Coverage and Addiction Services Funding

You do not need another health coverage or policy headline. You need a fast, clear action that protects real people.

Health coverage is more than insurance. It is access to addiction treatment, mental health care, medications, and recovery support that millions of people rely on every day. Right now, that access is at risk. Recent federal action threatens to strip coverage from families and destabilize already strained behavioral health services unless Congress intervenes quickly.

Advanced Premium Tax Credits help many people afford health insurance on the Marketplace. When those credits lapse, premiums jump, coverage drops, and access to treatment gets squeezed. That hits substance use services hard, because lost coverage often means delayed care, interrupted medications, and fewer options for people who are already fighting to survive.

A bill to extend these credits has moved through the House, and the next fight is in the Senate. Reports have already shown Senate resistance to extending these subsidies, so your call matters right now.

You are not debating. You are delivering a message.

What to say (simple script)

“Hi, my name is ___ and I live in ___. I’m calling to urge the Senator to support extending the Advanced Premium Tax Credits. Losing them will raise premiums and cost people coverage. It will also threaten access to addiction treatment and behavioral health care. Please support the extension.”

One more push

After you call, tell one colleague to call too. Two calls become four. Four calls become a signal they cannot ignore.
