Meet Amanda, a small business owner from Idaho, who exhausted her life savings while caring for her late partner, Robert, during his battle with cancer. Amanda, who relies on the premium health tax credit, now faces impossible choices again if Congress allows the tax credit to expire at the end of this year, sending her monthly costs skyrocketing.
“I lost my business, I lost my future, and honestly, some hope,” said Amanda. “Without the healthcare tax credit, my premiums would go up close to $4,000 a year. I don’t know what I would do. This is something that affects everyday, regular people. We need Congress to do its job.”
Enhanced Premium Tax Credits (EPTCs) are currently helping 24 million people – including some of our patients – afford high-quality healthcare coverage through the insurance Marketplace (Healthcare.gov). These tax credits are applied directly to people’s premiums, keeping coverage affordable and making healthcare more accessible. But unless Congress acts soon, these tax credits will expire at the end of 2025.
Letting the healthcare tax credit expire push families, like Amanda’s, over the edge and send healthcare costs through the roof. Congress must extend the healthcare tax credit and stop health costs from skyrocketing. Learn how you can help protect access to care at https://bit.ly/4gmAlNY.
