Urge Congress to Protect Affordable Healthcare
Advocate to extend the enhanced premium tax credits, which lower healthcare costs and improve access to quality coverage for millions of working families.
The Problem
Enhanced Premium Tax Credits Are on the Verge of Expiration
Introduced by the American Rescue Plan Act in 2021, Enhanced Premium Tax Credits have significantly reduced individual healthcare costs and expanded access to quality coverage through the Marketplace.
Unless Congress acts, these credits will expire in 2025.
Why it Matters
Coverage loss
Up to 5 million Americans† could lose their health coverage entirely, while millions more would pay significantly higher premiums.
Economic harm
Access to emergency care is vital, but reliance on ERs for routine care would increase, straining hospitals and driving up premiums for everyone.
Higher premiums
Millions of Americans could see premium increases ranging from $1,350 to $17,500† annually, depending on age, income, and health risks.
