U.S. Representative Lizzie Fletcher, who represents Texas’s 7th congressional district, posted a series of statements on November 20, 2025, criticizing Congressional Republicans and former President Donald Trump over health care policy and the impending increase in insurance premiums.
In her first post at 19:04 UTC, Fletcher stated: “tl;dr: Congressional Republicans don’t have a plan. If they had a plan, they would have made it a priority months ago, not with just seven weeks to go before families’ premiums skyrocket on January 1.”
Later that evening at 20:47 UTC, she addressed the impact of former President Trump’s policies on costs for local communities: “President Trump promised to lower costs, but his policies are having the opposite effect. See what that means for some beloved places here in Houston and #TX07. “
By 23:02 UTC, Fletcher highlighted concerns about health care access in Texas due to federal policy decisions: “Another distressing read about the health care crisis that President Trump and congressional Republicans have caused by refusing to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits that Texans rely on. “
Lizzie Fletcher has represented Texas’s 7th district since her victory over John Culberson in 2018. She has consistently won re-election against various Republican challengers—Wesley Hunt in 2020, Johnny Teague in 2022, and Caroline Kane in 2024—securing majorities ranging from just over half to more than sixty percent of the vote.
Her recent posts reflect ongoing debates over the future of health care policy as Congress approaches deadlines affecting insurance premiums and tax credits under the Affordable Care Act.
