Alaska Families are Bracing for a Healthcare Crisis

A 35-year-old making $50,000 a year could see monthly premiums jump from $176 to $359. Someone earning $80,000 could pay nearly $1,000 a month just to stay covered. Those increases aren’t insignificant. They’re rent payments, grocery budgets, childcare, heating fuel — the basics Alaskans need to live.

Sullivan had a choice — and he chose higher costs. Extending ACA subsidies is supported by everyday Alaska families and healthcare experts alike. But instead of protecting Alaskans, Sullivan chose to side with D.C. extremists determined to gut the Affordable Care Act. That decision will make healthcare harder to access, more expensive, and more burdensome for the people he’s supposed to represent.
