Families across the U.S. are opening renewal letters showing premiums doubling, tripling—even approaching $50,000 a year—because enhanced ACA tax credits are set to expire at the end of 2025 unless Congress acts. Bernie Sanders sits with real people explaining the gut punch: plans jumping from a few hundred dollars to over a thousand a month, medication costs they simply can’t cover, and warnings that this chaos is exactly what happens when Republicans refuse to extend help that kept coverage affordable.
What’s happening: The enhanced ACA premium tax credits (extended through 2025 in the Inflation Reduction Act) are scheduled to sunset, which independent analyses say would more than double average net premiums for subsidized enrollees, push millions to drop coverage, and hit older adults and middle‑income families especially hard. Vermont is among the states facing some of the steepest losses if Congress doesn’t extend the credits.
Bernie’s warning: Vermonters have already seen quotes showing premiums quadrupling for a typical family of four in Burlington, with annual costs north of $50,000—“basically insane”—and similar stories are emerging nationwide as open enrollment collides with the subsidy deadline.
Call to action: Share this video and tell Congress to extend the ACA’s enhanced premium tax credits now. Without action, 20+ million will face shocking premium hikes, and many will become uninsured as the for‑profit insurance system keeps raising prices while Republicans block relief.
