This is one of the dirtiest tricks that is being pulled on the American people right now.

Starting today, October 1st, and throughout the rest of the month, Americans across this country are going to start getting notifications that their insurance premiums are up to doubling.

So Republicans want us to rubber stamp that.

And we're saying no.

We need to stand up for the American people.

We need to stand up for our health care system.

And if they want our votes, they need to make sure that we're protecting every American and making sure that we can do what we can to continue to make health care accessible, affordable as we work to make it a human right for all.

People who do not have their papers to be here cannot access federally funded health care.

They are not eligible for Medicaid, Medicare.

They can't go on the ACA exchanges and buy health care.

There is a small group of migrants or immigrants who are here who are considered lawfully present who have access to this.

But there is no world in which Democrats are fighting to get undocumented immigrants access to federally funded health care.

It is a lie.

It is also the most obvious like they're running the only play they have really in moments of, you know, crisis, which is.

Talk about illegals.

Just like if if something's going bad, like talk about illegals.

And this is, you know, like the people who were lawfully present in this country who were able to access some federally funded health care are people like refugees, immigrants.

people who have papers to be here temporarily, DACA recipients.

This is a small group of people who were made ineligible under the last funding bill or under the build back, under the one big, beautiful, God, can we just call it something else?

They called it the Republican budget bill.
