Broadband subsidy program that millions use will expire next year if Congress doesn’t act
One of the features that President Joe Biden cited in his plan to bring internet to every home and business in the United States by 2030 was affordability. But an important federal program established to keep broadband costs down for low-income households is set to expire next year.
The Affordable Connectivity Program has not reached everyone who is eligible. According to an Associated Press analysis of enrollment and census data, less than than 40% of eligible households have utilized the program, which provides monthly subsidies of $30, and in some cases, up to $75, to help pay for internet connections.

America’s veterans didn’t sign up for privatized health care
For years, the push to privatize veteran healthcare has been a longstanding and persistent mission among certain politicians. In their most recent attempt, bills like the recently introduced Veterans’ HEALTH Act of 2023 are framed as a measure to enhance choice for veterans and improve access.
However, these proposals mask a concerning reality — they actually endorse the expansion of private, for-profit healthcare, which is a costlier approach that diminishes access to specialized care for our nation’s heroes.
