Last week, our Organizing Director Eddie Seay spoke at a Protect Our Care event in Virginia Beach. Together, we called for better and more affordable access to healthcare in Virginia and across our nation.

Thanks to Reps. Tom Kean, Jeff Van Drew, Chris Smith voting to side with billionaire corporations rather than their constituents, rates in NJ’s individual health insurance market, including plans sold through Get Covered NJ, will rise by a weighted average of 19.8% in 2027. njpbs.org/posts/for-se...

Dr. Bonnie, a medical optometrist in Langhorne PA, is seeing rising insurance costs, patients losing their jobs, and people unable to afford the care they need. It’s taking a toll not only on patients and their families, but also on local providers. (1/3)

This week, we met in Yorktown to address the rising cost of living. We called on Rep. Rob Wittman to address the growing costs of childcare, housing, and groceries as well as cuts to essential benefits that are hurting working families, seniors and children. #ThePriceIsHigh

"We’re putting campaign promises next to voting records, and those votes next to what families are experiencing across Pennsylvania. Pennsylvanians can see the record for themselves," said Felicity Williams, Executive Director of Pennsylvanians Together In Action. #ThePriceIsHigh

(5/5): So we’ve been taking the receipts directly to communities across PA. Talking to people. Sharing their stories. Putting voting records in plain language. And making sure Pennsylvanians see the difference between promises about affordability & actual votes. #ThePriceisHigh

Share your story about rising costs here and we'll deliver it to your member's office: #ThePriceIsHigh @patogetheraction.bsky.social @economicsecurity.us action.momsrising.org/survey/pri_2...

Our pop-up lemonade stand continued making the rounds in Bucks County, Harrisburg, Scranton, and LeHigh Valley! PA families are feeling the squeeze of rising costs for gas, groceries, child care…everything! We're showing Reps. Bresnahan, Mackenzie, Perry, and Fitzpatrick: we have the receipts!

Rep. Mackenzie voted YES twice to put sweeping Medicaid cuts into law. Now families are paying the price. Thousands of his constituents could lose Medicaid coverage. Local hospitals face growing financial pressure. And the cost of Pennie plans is skyrocketing. #ThePriceIsHigh (1/2)

NJCA took to the streets in Clinton this week during our Affordability Week of Action and talked to residents about rising costs. Clinton is in CD7 and represented by Rep Tom Kean Jr. whose votes have made everyday costs like gas, groceries, healthcare & utilities more expensive. #ThePriceIsTooHigh

NJCA joined residents in CD2 outside Rep. Van Drew's office this week to hold him accountable for his votes, to rally against the federal cuts to vital programs, and for supporting the Trump administration's rampant corruption. #ThePriceIsTooHigh

(1/): 🍋 We brought the receipts to Langhorne. On Friday, @patogetheraction.bsky.social joined partners and local residents outside Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick’s district office for our #PAFeelsTheSqueeze traveling lemonade stand. We heard directly from residents about how rising costs are hitting home.

That's on top of Trump's Big, Ugly Bill that robbed over 5 million people of food assistance and millions of health care — all to give billionaires tax breaks. We're continuing to sound the alarm on how Republican policies are causing sky-high prices and impacting our communities. #ThePriceIsHigh

Families in Bucks & Montco are paying more for health care, thousands have dropped Pennie coverage, and Medicaid cuts threaten lives and local hospitals. Rep. Fitzpatrick helped the original H.R. 1 pass the House by a single vote before later voting against the final bill. (1/2)

Moms are on the ground in PA with our pop-up lemonade stand highlighting how 'moms are feeling the squeeze' when it comes to gas, groceries, health care, child care, and more. We're putting leaders like Brian Fitzpatrick and Scott Perry on notice: we have the receipts! #ThePriceIsHigh

Last year, Republicans gutted funding for food aid and healthcare programs that working folks rely on, just to give rich donors a tax cut. Now, millions of families are skipping the doctor and sending kids to school with empty stomachs. It's time to hold the GOP accountable. #ThePriceIsHigh

Big grocers shouldn’t get to block competitors and leave communities with fewer options for food. We’re fighting for AB 1857 and AB 1776 to change that. Our partners at California Food and Farming Network wrote about this @sfgate.com @governor.ca.gov sign these bills. www.sfgate.com/food/article...

Childcare now costs more than college in every state, and costs more than a mortgage in nearly every state. Trump and Republicans campaigned on lowering costs for young families, but failed to do anything about their single biggest budget line item. #ThePriceIsHigh

Rep. Rob Wittman promised to help families and lower costs. Instead, she cut taxes for billionaires and big corporations, shredded our social safety net, and raised the cost of healthcare, electricity, gas, food, and more. Now, we’ve got the receipt to prove it. #ThePriceIsHigh

Rep. Scott Perry voted NO on extending the ACA tax credits that made health care more affordable for working people, and voted yes TWICE on H.R.1 — including the final bill that slashed Medicaid funding. Families are paying the price, and we have the receipts! #ThePriceIsHigh

Gas. Groceries. Healthcare. Trump and Congressional Republicans swore they'd cut costs, but since they took office, prices for all of these basic needs (and more!) have soared. It's time to tell the GOP: talk is cheap. The cost of living isn't. #ThePriceIsHigh

Republicans like Congressman Tom Barrett in Michigan promised to lower costs. Then they turned around and voted to take away health care and food assistance. Now patients are paying even more for health care, gas, and other basic necessities. #ThePriceIsHigh

To fix the cost of living crisis, we have to lower prices AND make sure Americans have more cash in their pockets. A monthly, expanded #ChildTaxCredit would help working families afford sky-high prices for gas, groceries, and more. @momsrising.org @repdelbene.bsky.social #ThePriceIsHigh

Pennsylvania: Come join us, @pennsyltogether.bsky.social, and @momsrising.org this week to sip some lemonade and talk about what YOUR Republican representatives are costing you #ThePriceIsHigh

(1/): 🧾 The receipts are in, and #Pennsylvania is part of the story. This week, @patogetheraction.bsky.social is joining @economicsecurity.us + partners nationwide for #ThePriceIsHigh Affordability Week of Action. See the NEW Republican Receipts 👇🏽 economicsecurity.us/campaign/rec...

Rep. Mackenzie voted YES on H.R.1, which paired devastating Medicaid cuts with tax giveaways for big corporations and billionaires. Thousands of his constituents could lose Medicaid coverage. Local hospitals face growing financial pressure. Families are feeling the squeeze. #ThePriceIsHigh (1/3)

Rep. Bresnahan said he wouldn't vote for legislation that “guts the benefits my neighbors rely on.” But then, he voted YES on HR1, which gutted essential, lifesaving programs like SNAP and Medicaid in order to pay for tax giveaways for big corporations and billionaires. #ThePriceIsHigh (1/3)

Rep. Rob Bresnahan voted to slash $1 trillion from Medicaid & kill ACA tax credits that lowered healthcare costs for working families. As the cost of health care and everyday essentials skyrockets, many folks like Brenda, who lives in his district, are stressed about staying afloat. #ThePriceIsHigh

Maine households are paying $4,300 more than they were before Trump returned to office. What’s driving the increase? War. Tariffs. A rigged tax code. Corporate consolidation. Washington’s priorities. The Squeeze is real. And it’s costing Maine families thousands. #ThePriceIsHigh

Between premiums, co-pays, and deductibles, healthcare costs too much and insurance is too hard to navigate. Instead of fixing it, Trump and Republicans cut taxes for rich insurance CEOs and made coverage even MORE expensive for everyone. #ThePriceIsHigh

#ThePriceIsHigh and we've got the receipts! TAKE ACTION Tell Fitzpatrick: use your influence to lower costs and deliver results on affordable health care for your constituents actionnetwork.org/letters/buck...

Families are feeling the squeeze, thousands dropped Pennie coverage, Medicaid cuts threaten lives & local hospitals. Rep. Fitzpatrick helped the original HR1 pass by a single vote before later voting against the final bill. A final NO doesn't erase the first YES or lower our bills. #ThePriceIsHigh

Groceries. Gas. Healthcare. Childcare. The price of EVERYTHING is too high. Republicans promised lower costs. Instead, they raised our bills. Now, working families are paying more and getting less while billionaires and big corporations profit. #ThePriceIsHigh

Gas is $4/gallon. Electric bills are up over 10% since last year. Climate change is making heatwaves worse, and Trump and Republicans are making it harder to afford AC. Utility companies are padding their profits. Working families can't afford the GOP agenda. #ThePriceIsHigh @economicsecurity.us

In 2013, a fire truck cost $500,000.00. In 2023, the same truck cost $1,000,000.00. Why? Private Equity and giant corporations took control of the industry and jacked up prices. We can't let corporate greed make our communities less safe. @governor.ca.gov sign AB 1776, the COMPETE Act!

How are families supposed to get ahead when childcare now costs more than college? Childcare costs have skyrocketed in recent years, and families are getting priced out. Parents don't need motivation to work harder. They need affordable childcare and cash. @momsrising.org

Trump is making an empty promise to give Americans cash to cover for the fact that he raised gas, grocery, and health costs in the first place. Families need relief from GOP prices, but there's a better way to get cash back in folks' pockets. Listen to @repdelbene.bsky.social explain:

Terminating healthcare. Gutting food aid. Cutting taxes for the ultra-rich. The Republican agenda isn't helping moms and families deal with the cost of living crisis. 👉 Listen to @momsrising.org's Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner break down exactly what our leaders should do instead:
