Health insurance shouldn’t be this confusing.

One patient struggled with the marketplace until a navigator helped her find a better plan.

That support exists because of the Affordable Care Act.

Big fights made it possible.

Watch her story.

Why are health insurance corporations allowed to play doctor when we have, y'know, actual doctors? Medical decisions belong to ourselves and our trusted physicians!

The math isn't mathing.

We're told we can't afford Medicaid, we can't afford the ACA, we can't afford universal healthcare. But we have hundreds of billions of dollars for a new, unnecessary war, of course 🙄

Caregivers are essential in keeping so many families together, often becoming family themselves. This National Caregivers Day, we recognize their love and labor as we continue to fight for a world where patients can get the care they need and caregivers everywhere can earn a living wage.

This is where we are at with our healthcare system.

Insurance corporations rake in billions of dollars for CEOs and shareholders while even celebrities’ families have to crowdfund for their care.

Families are turning to thoughts and prayers as health insurance premiums soar ‘Our 2025 plan went up nearly $300 per month, and my husband and I are freelance musicians/teachers with low income, so we don’t have that kind of extra money,’ one policyholder said

"We don’t have that kind of extra money."
"We took the gamble."
"I keep praying we don’t have an accident."

That's not how we should be talking about health care. This is not normal.

We've heard from many people about their premiums doubling, tripling, quadrupling. No one should ever have to choose between paying for health care or their home. #FundOurHealthcare NOW.

For Congress, healthcare cuts might look like numbers on a spreadsheet. For Robin, it’s life or death.

Stop gambling with our lives. Fund our health care. Extend the ACA tax credits.

Congress had a choice this summer—and they got it wrong. They could have protected funding that keeps ACA plans affordable for millions. What did they choose to pass instead? Cuts to SNAP, cuts to Medicaid and Medicare, and astronomical funding increases for ICE. #FundHealthcareStopICE

Congress needs to set its priorities straight. We need affordable health care. We DON'T need more suffering. $30 billion of our hard-earned tax dollars is better spent healing us, not terrorizing us. #FundHealthcareStopICE

Don't get it twisted. Health insurance is expensive because insurance corporations are driven by profits. #CorporateGreed #PatientsOverProfits

Enrollment is down >800,000 from last year. This isn’t people “choosing less coverage.” It’s people getting priced out of the care they deserve.

The House voted to extend premium help for 3 years—now it's the Senate's turn.

Tell your senators to STOP PREMIUM SPIKES:

Fewer small employees offer health coverage as premiums rise “If health insurance premiums rise faster than wages and general inflation, small employers are likely to face intensified financial strain, which could accelerate the erosion of health plan sponsorship among firms with fewer than 100 workers,” said Paul Fronstin, Ph.D., director of health benefits research for the Employee Benefit Research Institute.

Exhibit 1 of Mike Johnson "returning the dignity of work to young men who need to be out working instead of playing videogames all day."

All the GOP has done with our health care is turn the tables against workers and small business owners.

We deserve a healthcare system that works for us & can’t be taken away by any politician at the behest of the wealthy. If ACA tax credits expiring = more money spent on healthcare and less on groceries, or forgoing insurance entirely, we want to hear from you. Message us at stories@beaherofund.com.

Our healthcare shouldn’t be compromised to finance greedy corporations or billionaires looking for another tax cut.

We deserve a system that works for us and access to the care we need, no matter who we are or where we live.

All of us are patients, because all of us will need care at some point in our lives.

Whether it’s a chronic condition, a sudden illness, or routine care, all of us must navigate our healthcare system. And that’s why we deserve one that works for us.

HEADLINES: GOP War on Health Care Drives ‘Drastic Drop’ in Health Coverage for Working Families — Protect Our Care New data illustrates what working families from Maine to Texas have been feeling since the Trump-GOP health care premium hikes hit on January 1: health care isn’t just more expensive...

1.4 million people have dropped health insurance.

How many more have to risk their lives for our lawmakers to finally scrounge up the moral and political will to fix our broken healthcare system?

It’s not normal to have to go into debt for healthcare. It’s not normal for insurance companies to decide whether or not you get the care you need.

It’s time to put our collective power into action and create a healthcare system that works for all.

Tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy and endless wars at the cost of our #healthcare.

Thank you to all the representatives who have voted for a 3-year extension on ACA tax credits. Now it's time for our senators to put an end to the #healthcareheist.
