Republicans are launching an assault on healthcare by refusing to extend critical Affordable Care Act subsidies that prevent insurance premiums from skyrocketing for millions of Americans. The GOP bill undermines healthcare protections while overlooking the pressing need to address expiring subsidies before open enrollment begins on Nov. 1. This partisan measure forces families to choose between basic government services and affordable healthcare coverage.
