Last year, Republicans gutted funding for food aid and healthcare programs that working folks rely on, just to give rich donors a tax cut. Now, millions of families are skipping the doctor and sending kids to school with empty stomachs. It's time to hold the GOP accountable. #ThePriceIsHigh

Gas is $4/gallon right now, up more than $1/gallon since last summer. With surges like this, many Americans are turning to “buy now, pay later” services like Afterpay to cover the bills, We shouldn't have to take out loans to cover the essentials.

Childcare now costs more than college in every state, and costs more than a mortgage in nearly every state. Trump and Republicans campaigned on lowering costs for young families, but failed to do anything about their single biggest budget line item. #ThePriceIsHigh

Everything’s gotten more expensive since 2020, especially electric bills. Today, we're paying almost 50% more for the same amount of electricity we used then. Our bills will keep rising unless our leaders take action.

Last week, we partnered with Campaign for a Family Friendly Economy and the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare to host an affordability roundtable with former Representative and candidate Elaine Luria at local Virginia Beach business Sundae Scoops.

You’re not imagining it. Everything on your plate really IS way more expensive today than it was a few years ago. Our leaders should be lowering food prices. Instead, Congress cut SNAP, taking food assistance away from millions of hungry Americans and raising grocery costs even more.

Between premiums, co-pays, and deductibles, healthcare costs too much and insurance is too hard to navigate. Instead of fixing it, Trump and Republicans cut taxes for rich insurance CEOs and made coverage even MORE expensive for everyone. #ThePriceIsHigh

Families are fed up with working harder and getting less. This Labor Day, we’re calling for our leaders to make sure working folks get better pay and stronger cash support programs to weather the cost of living crisis.

"Even medical professionals are skipping health insurance because of high prices." A doctor and a pharmacist in Idaho just dropped coverage for their family of four. Their premium hit nearly $1,600 a month. If they can't afford it, who can?

Healthcare costs have jumped for everyone this year, but folks who rely on Affordable Care Act (ACA) coverage are especially struggling with sticker shock. It shouldn’t be this way. Our leaders need to deliver a better, more affordable healthcare system for all now.
