We have the lowest number of uninsured Granite Staters ever in New Hampshire's history and the ACA enhanced premium tax credits have a lot to do with that. I recently met with folks in New Hampshire to discuss the urgent need to extend these credits.
With just under 2 weeks until open enrollment begins for health care coverage, the need to extend ACA enhanced premium tax credits is urgent.   I spoke to an expert in New Hampshire who explained what will happen if Congress fails to extend these tax credits before November 1. ⬇️
We’re in the midst of a cost of living crisis, and President Trump's tariffs are making products that families rely on even more expensive. The President said he was going to lower prices for Americans, but all we've seen are higher and higher costs from his reckless trade war.
I met with some health care advocates, providers and Granite Staters who use the ACA Marketplace for health insurance. They told me it will be devastating for New Hampshire if the ACA enhanced premium tax credits expire. They're counting on us to take action before it's too late.
Working Americans are already living paycheck to paycheck—they can't afford to spend an extra $2,000 per month on health care premiums. It's time for Republicans in Congress and the White House to join us to prevent this disaster for family budgets. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
Who benefits from ACA enhanced premium tax credits? Tens of millions of Americans from coast to coast. If Congress doesn’t act soon, health care costs are going to surge for the folks who can least afford it.
Republican Insurance Commissioner Jon Godfread is right to sound the alarm: Congress only has a matter of days to extend ACA enhanced premium tax credits by November 1 before health care costs are permanently set higher. We must work across the aisle to get this done before then.
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.
