Shaheen, Baldwin Introduce Legislation to Make Affordable Care Act Premium Tax Credits Permanent, Lowering Costs for Millions of Americans

"For years, the ACA enhanced premium tax credits have significantly lowered costs and increased access to health insurance for families in New Hampshire and across the country. But let's be very clear: if Congress fails to act before these tax credits expire, tens of millions of Americans will suffer a substantial increase in health care costs and millions of individuals could lose their health insurance entirely," said Senator Shaheen. "It's time to extend these highly effective tax credits to keep costs from skyrocketing and ensure health care is within reach for every American, and I'm proud that our Health Care Affordability Act does just that."
