Due to the federal government's failure to address the nation’s current healthcare crisis, significant increases in the average cost of even basic healthcare coverage for American citizens will rise in 2026. This rise will particularly impact senior citizens, lower-income children, and families already grappling with the rising cost of basic life necessities such as food, clothing, and shelter. Projected increases to healthcare and prescription coverage will add yet another obstacle and the far-reaching implications to our society as a whole.

The NAACP is committed to eliminating healthcare disparities based on race and socio-economic status. Our goal extends beyond disease prevention; we strive to foster a culture where everyone can access quality healthcare and live healthy lives within their communities. We are committed to advocating for reforms in both public and private health systems to ensure that affordable, accessible, and high-quality care is available to all individuals.

We urge you to join us and to fight back against spiraling costs that not only threaten the wellbeing of individuals and communities, but enables systems of political, social, and economic inequity to flourish. It is crucial for us all to unite against these unjust systems if we aim for meaningful change. Remember that our strength lies in the collective support of individuals who share our mission against blatant injustices.
