Millions of moms just like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene are worried about how their families are going to afford health care if the ACA enhanced premium tax credits expire. We can take action now to extend these credits. Let's work together to get this done and prevent costs from soaring.
Marjorie Taylor Greene on the bad advice Trump is getting: "I don't think it's good advice that Republicans ignoring the health insurance crisis is gonna be good for midterms. I actually think it's going to be very bad for midterms ... costs have not come down."
Republicans are claiming that the ACA tax credits go to the wealthy—but that's just not accurate.   The average salary of a person who benefits from the Affordable Care Act enhanced premium tax credits is $32,000 a year.
Bill Hemmer: Why play stick 'em up now?   Sen. Shaheen: The reason we need to address it [ACA tax credits] now is because insurance companies are setting their rates now.   Hemmer: But you’ve got 3 months to negotiate.   Shaheen: No no, no...They're getting their rate increases now.

Jeff is a cancer survivor whose clean bill of health wouldn't have been possible without affordable health care through the ACA. If these tax credits expire, his premium will skyrocket. Jeff’s health care isn’t negotiable. Congress needs to extend these tax credits now.
With less than one month until open enrollment, time is of the essence. Congress must act now to extend the expiring health insurance tax credits, or else everyday Americans will be forced to foot the bill for skyrocketing health care costs.
If my Republican colleagues fail to work with us, 267,000 veterans will lose their health care, according to a new report from the Urban Institute. These are Americans who put their lives on the line for our nation, who will be priced out of health care if Congress doesn’t act.
If ACA premium tax cuts are allowed to expire, Granite Staters like Michelle will be priced out of health care coverage. Health care isn't optional. We need to extend these tax credits for the tens of millions of Americans who rely on them to afford health insurance.
If the ACA enhanced premium tax credits expire, health care costs will skyrocket: 📈A single person in their 40s earning $31K annually in NH could see their annual premiums increase $1,344. 📈A couple in their 60s earning $90K annually could see their premiums increase $14,712.
There is real urgency to addressing the cost of health insurance and extending the ACA tax credits to prevent millions from losing their coverage. Insurance companies are setting their rates NOW, and the marketplace opens on November 1. We can't afford to wait.
76% of people who benefit from the ACA tax credits live in states that President Trump won in November. I'm ready to work with my Republican colleagues and the White House to find a path forward and prevent health care costs from doubling for tens of millions of Americans.
It’s in everyone’s best interest to act now to extend the vital enhanced premium tax credits.  Premiums are going out this month, and millions of Americans will be paying double what they pay now.  Let's work together, reopen the government and prevent suffocating price hikes.
27% of our farmers, ranchers and agricultural managers rely on the ACA for affordable health care. They're already facing higher costs due to the President’s reckless trade wars. Allowing the enhanced premium tax credits to expire would raise their health care costs, too.
Kicking the can on the expiring ACA tax credits leaves more Americans uninsured and costs patients more of their hard-earned money compared to if we acted today. Over half of people who get these credits live in Republican districts. Let's come together and get this done.
Extending ACA enhanced premium tax credits shouldn't be a partisan issue.   Even 57% of "MAGA" voters say they want to see these tax credits extended.   That's because the cost of health care coverage impacts everyone.
Congress can't wait until December to extend ACA enhanced premium tax credits.   Insurance companies are setting rates now for the November 1st open enrollment period.   If we don't act, premiums will be unaffordable and millions more will be kicked off their health insurance.
Serious factual and legal questions remain unanswered about this administration's continued use of military force. It's alarming and unconscionable to continue lethal strikes without providing sound legal justification to Congress and the public.
