When politicians attack reproductive rights, low-income people, people of color, and those in rural communities suffer the most. Congress must protect access to care by making Roe v. Wade permanent."" (justfacts.votesmart.org)

During the Special Enrollment Period that ended on August 15, 2021, more than 2.5 million people signed up for new health insurance coverage through the Marketplace.1 Thanks to the more generous advance premium tax credits from the American Rescue Plan, enrollees have seen average net premium savings of more than $40 per month -- a 40 percent reduction in their monthly spending on health coverage that means more money for groceries, school supplies, and essentials that families depend on.2 More than one-third of enrollees have been able to find plans for $10 or less per month with the expanded advance premium tax credits, bringing the economic security and health protections of coverage within reach for low-income and working-class people--some for the very first time.3" (justfacts.votesmart.org)
