When you work for yourself, healthcare isn’t a perk - it’s survival infrastructure.
The Affordable Care Act made it possible for self-employed people, creatives, healers, small business owners, and entrepreneurs to access real health insurance without being denied for pre-existing conditions or priced out entirely.
ACA subsidies:
• Lower monthly premiums
• Make mental health care and preventive care accessible
• Allow self-employed people to take entrepreneurial risks without risking their health
• Support women, caregivers, and midlife workers who don’t fit traditional employment boxes
Today, Congress is debating whether to extend these ACA subsidies. If they expire, millions of self-employed Americans will face impossible choices between healthcare and housing, food, or keeping their businesses alive.
Healthcare stability fuels innovation, community care, and economic resilience.
📣 Congress must extend ACA subsidies.
Self-employed Americans deserve healthcare that supports - not punishes - independence.
