Two weeks ago, the U.S.

House passed legislation to extend the enhanced ACA premium tax credits. Those subsidies have now expired, and families across the South are already feeling the impact through higher premiums, coverage disruptions, and renewed uncertainty. The Senate returns to Washington, D.C. next week. We urge senators to take up the House-passed legislation and act without delay. More than 60% of ACA Marketplace enrollees live in the South. When affordability protections lapse, access to care, HIV prevention, and treatment continuity are put at risk. We urge people across the South to contact their Senators as they return to D.C. and make clear that extending the ACA premium tax credits is essential and urgent. #HIVintheSouth, #ACASubsidies, #ProtectCoverage, #SouthernHealth
