Dear Partners,
This week, Congress is preparing to advance a Build Back Better agenda that centers health and racial justice. The Build Back Better legislation includes meaningful policy change that will support individuals and families across the country in securing a healthier future – and by design, the agenda centers the needs of those who have faced longstanding and unfair barriers to care.
Contact your members of Congress: tell them to pass this legislation now!

The Build Back Better Act will:
- Extend the ACA premium tax credits permanently, so people continue to have affordable coverage;
- Ensure that people have permanent and equal access to coverage no matter where they live;
- Lower prescription drug prices and out-of-pocket costs;
- Invest in a robust home and community based services program that supports caregivers & the care workforce;
- Extend Medicaid for a full year postpartum to ensure healthy outcomes for babies and parents;
- Provide Medicaid coverage to justice-involved individuals 30 days pre-release;
- Improve access to dental coverage;
- And so much more!
Our country needs a Build Back Better agenda so that everyone can thrive – and we need all hands on deck to ensure passage. Tell your members of Congress to pass the Build Back Better agenda as soon as possible!
In Solidarity,
Eva Marie Stahl,
Director of Policy and Partnerships
