TOMORROW: 528,000 Tennesseans Will Face Sticker Shock When They Shop for Their Health Care

November 1 marks the start date for ACA Open Enrollment

For six straight weeks, Andy Ogles has refused to address the health care crisis he created.

As millions of Americans begin shopping for health care tomorrow during the start of open enrollment, Tennesseans will log on and see higher health care premiums because Ogles would rather be on vacation than working to find a bipartisan solution to their health care crisis.

Because Ogles and Republicans refuse to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, 528,000 Tennesseans will face – on average – more than double the cost next year, forcing many to abandon their health coverage altogether. This is despite the overwhelming majority of Americans who support Congress extending the ACA tax credits.

Yesterday, the DCCC released a new digital ad in TN-05 to hold Ogles accountable for his refusal to take action and failure to lower costs.

DCCC Spokesperson Madison Andrus:
“Andy Ogles is failing Tennesseans. Open enrollment begins tomorrow, but Ogles is on vacation and millions of Americans will face higher costs – or be forced to go without health care – because he wanted to shut the government down. Ogles will lose his seat next year because of this cruelty.”
