“Because our nonprofit needs better funding, I can’t even keep the folks working for me in health coverage, least of all myself," rural organizer Warren Tidwell tells Cover Alabama storyteller Whit Sides. coveralabama.org/warren

"For the people who are about to lose their health coverage, there is a solution that’s right there. Congress can act now to help these individuals,” #CoverAlabama's @debekmiller tells @SavannahTF at @aldotcom. al.com/news/2025/12/churches…
Monthly marketplace premiums could rise significantly if Congress doesn't act. If you are a worker who depends on Healthcare.gov, sign your name to this letter. forms.gle/X4c54vamowsaUFV27

“That’s insane, $7,000 to $32,000, you might as well not even have health coverage at that point. And I’d say that’s a pretty moderate income for a household of two," @debekmiller tells @ALReflector. #alpolitics alabamareflector.com/2025/11…
This year, Congressional Republicans passed a CHILLING tax and budget law that takes aim at Alabama families.
😱 Hikes up health care costs for 20 million people
🎃 Cuts families’ food assistance and raises grocery costs
👿 Takes health care away from 15 million people
⚡ Drives up household energy bills
🧛 Makes us foot the bill for HUGE tax giveaways for the ultra wealthy
Congress needs to come to the table and undo the damage before [state] families pay the price. Step #1 is for lawmakers to extend Premium Tax Credit enhancements to prevent SCARY health care costs hikes for over 20 million Americans.
"Losing (ePTCs) would mean hundreds of thousands of Alabamians could no longer afford coverage. This would widen the gap between those who can see a doctor and those who cannot," @debekmiller explains Alabamians can expect for open enrollment htis year.

Virginia and other Alabamians monthly premiums for Healthcare.gov Marketplace plans will increase significantly next year.
Urge Congress to extend the tax credits that will keep health care affordable for 400,000 Alabamians. votervoice.net/CoverAlabama/…
Premium Tax Credits make health care affordable for 20M+ people. If they expire, millions won’t be able to get care.
Join us in urging Congress to make health care tax credits permanent & repeal the health care cuts they passed in July: coveralabama.org/petition
