Washington
Voices for Affordable Health is reaching out with an urgent request for all who live in Washington’s First Congressional District.
Please click below to send an email of support to your congresswoman, Rep. Suzan DelBene. She is working to protect federal tax credits created with the Affordable Care Act.
These tax credits are specifically designed to lower the monthly cost of health insurance for people who purchase their own health insurance coverage. For many of our neighbors, these tax credits make it possible for them to secure affordable health care.

A recent survey on health care access and affordability in Idaho finds Idahoans are deeply concerned about their access to affordable health care. Voices for Affordable Health advocates for state and national solutions that promote accessible and affordable care, including: Support for expansion of home-based care. More transparency regarding private equity firms investing in health care services. Making lower-cost medications available. And protecting consumers from hidden fees, such as Emergency Room fees or so-called “facility fees.”
