"We need a universal healthcare system that is equitable, comprehensive, free at point of service, and accessible to every single person in the US."

"We need national, improved Medicare for All."

"We spend more on health care than any country on Earth, twice what they pay in Europe, and yet we have the worst health outcomes of any nation in the world."

"Health care is a basic human right."

Access to health care should be a right — not just a privilege for those who can afford it.

"I don't want to terminate Obamacare, I want to REPLACE IT with MUCH BETTER HEALTHCARE. Obamacare Sucks!!!"

"We want to make sure everybody is covered, but the best way to do that is to actually promote more choice in our health care system."

"We must lower the regulatory burden on the pharmaceutical industry."

Where Do Candidates Stand on Health Care?

The U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday by a vote of 230-196 extended enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies for three years, with 17 Republicans joining Democrats despite opposition from Speaker Mike Johnson.

The Congressional Budget Office estimated the three-year extension would increase the federal deficit by approximately $80.6 billion over a decade while expanding health insurance coverage by 4 million people in 2028.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune indicated any plan passing the Senate would need income limits, minimum premium payments and expansion of health savings accounts, with a bipartisan group of senators negotiating a potential two-year compromise.

The enhanced subsidies originally expanded during the COVID-19 pandemic expired at the end of 2025, causing insurance premiums through the Affordable Care Act to more than double for approximately 20 million Americans.

Obamacare subsidies were nothing but an expensive Band-Aid on a broken system that masked failures while saddling taxpayers with billions in debt. Letting these bloated COVID-era handouts expire exposes the truth that Obamacare doesn't work, and throwing endless taxpayer money at a broken program never made healthcare cheaper. Republicans now have the chance to deliver real reform that restructures how families access coverage without forcing Washington to keep writing bigger checks.

Obamacare subsidies were nothing but an expensive Band-Aid on a broken system that masked failures while saddling taxpayers with billions in debt. Letting these bloated COVID-era handouts expire exposes the truth that Obamacare doesn't work, and throwing endless taxpayer money at a broken program never made healthcare cheaper. Republicans now have the chance to deliver real reform that restructures how families access coverage without forcing Washington to keep writing bigger checks.

Allowing ACA subsidies to expire has caused millions of Americans to face sudden, unaffordable premium increases that will force families to drop coverage entirely or avoid necessary care. When people lose access to affordable insurance, preventive visits get postponed, prescriptions go unfilled and chronic conditions worsen until they become emergencies that cost everyone more. Stable insurance coverage reduces preventable hospitalizations and lowers long-term spending, making inaction a policy failure that shifts illness and financial strain onto patients with the least margin to absorb them.

Extending ACA subsidies wastes taxpayer cash and props up a failed law while premiums and debt climb. Big Insurance gets a windfall, patients get fewer choices, and real reform gets delayed. Congress should sunset subsidies and pass market-driven fixes like the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act.

House passage of a 3-year ACA subsidy extension averts a coverage cliff and prevents premium spikes for millions. Restored aid keeps families insured and reduces costly ER crises across communities. Senate action should follow now, while broader reforms push toward lower prices and Medicare for All.
