For Denise, a thyroid cancer survivor, health insurance isn't optional—it's essential. After moving to rural Virginia and starting work with a small nonprofit that didn't offer employee benefits, she turned to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace and found a plan that worked for her family.

But when the ACA enhanced premium tax credits expired, her monthly premiums jumped from about $1,000 to $1,800. Her annual deductible also increased by about $2,000.

"[My husband and I] are trying to make cuts as best we can. We're lucky that we can dip into savings, but that's not really a long-term solution," Denise shared. "At our age, we should be putting away money for retirement, and it's not something we can do right now."

Denise knows she's fortunate to have options that many Americans don't. That's why she's using her voice to advocate for affordable healthcare access—calling lawmakers, writing letters, and organizing community education events. Read her full story: https://bit.ly/3QPypVq
