📣 On anniversary of the #ARP, Biden-Harris Admin highlights health insurance subsidies that promoted critical increases in enrollment & savings:

📣 REMINDER: Thanks to the enhanced financial subsidies, increased outreach, expanded assister resources and the elimination of the dreaded #SubsidyCliff, a record-breaking *15.5 MILLION* Americans enrolled in TRULY affordable #ACA coverage for 2022. 
Good lord. The first 2 anti-expansion speakers during public comment are just spewing utter garbage.
The first Zoom speaker is claiming that if they expand Medicaid, it will somehow cause people to WANT to earn less so that they'll qualify for it. Which might make some sense if the rest of the ACA didn't exist for those who earn more, or if they could afford ANY coverage NOW.
The second Zoom speaker claims that Wyoming has crappy oversight over Medicaid waste/fraud/abuse, therefore they shouldn't expand it. Here's an idea: Expand it *and* improve your oversight process? Just spitballing here.
📣 Now that the #AmRescuePlan's expanded #ACA subsidies are live in most states, I'm reposting this thread with some examples of how much YOU could save if you #GetCovered today!

EXAMPLE 1: A single 26-yr old living by themselves will save up to $123/mo on avg...and if they earn less than $19K/yr, they're eligible for a FREE #SecretPlatinum plan (technically it's Silver, but w/generous cost-sharing subsidies making it the equivalent of Platinum).
EXAMPLE 2: A single 40-yr old will again save up to $1,480/yr on avg., and again, can get a #SecretPlatinum plan either for FREE (if they earn up to $19K/yr) or for as little as $43/mo if they earn up to $25.5k/yr:
📣 THREAD: @JoeBiden is rolling 2 major #ACA2.0 provisions into the #AmericanRescuePlan! 1/

Along with a whole mess of other important stuff, the #AmericanRescuePlan also includes two key parts of Biden's larger healthcare plan (with the remainder to be included in a later bill after he, you know, actually takes office):

Currently, #ACA enrollees pay between 2-10% of their income in premiums up to 400% of the federal poverty line (FPL)...but if you earn more than that (around $51K/yr if you're single; around $105K/yr for a family of four), you receive *no* assistance & have to pay full price. 3/
📣 IMPORTANT: The Dem POTUS candidates seem to be bogged down in a #M4All vs. #PublicOption debate...but EITHER of those would take several years to get passed, signed, implemented & ramped up. In the meantime, the #ACA itself desperately needs to be protected & strengthened. 1/
Robust #ACA2.0 bills have been introduced by both @HouseDemocrats (#HR1868 / #HR1884) *and* @SenateDems (#S1213, aka #CHIPA), and either of them could be implemented almost immediately upon signing.
Yet there's been little movement on either of these since last spring. 2/
