Quigley: Families Facing “Premium Shock” in 2026
In the September 25th episode, Quigley explained how ACA subsidies—expanded during COVID—lowered premiums for millions of families from as high as $2,000 per month to just $400–$500. Unless Congress acts before January 1, 2026, those enhancements will expire, forcing families back into unaffordable plans.
“If nothing is done, families could see premiums jump back to $2,000 a month almost overnight,” Quigley warned. “It will leave people uninsured or scrambling for inadequate plans with gaping holes in coverage.”
He also cautioned that a government shutdown could derail efforts to extend subsidies permanently, while outlining strategies for small businesses to leverage subsidies and reduce group plan costs.
Chadzynski: A Systemwide Crisis if Subsidies Expire
On the September 11th episode, Sarah Chadzynski—running for Congress in New Hampshire’s 2026 midterm election—highlighted the ripple effects of subsidy cuts across the healthcare system.
“This should not be a partisan issue,” Chadzynski said. “If subsidies go away, people delay preventative care, ER usage spikes, Medicaid systems get overwhelmed, and premiums rise for everyone. It affects all of us.”
Drawing from her background in education, nonprofit leadership, and community advocacy, Chadzynski positioned herself as a people-centered candidate committed to bipartisan, practical solutions.
Neil Haley: A Call for Bipartisan Action
