As a possible government shutdown looms, the future of the ACA’s enhanced premium tax credits is uncertain.
If Congress does not extend the enhanced credits, they’ll disappear at the end of the year — impacting millions of people.

![Green background with black text that says: What Will the Impact Be if the Enhanced Tax Credits Are Not Extended?
Below that, the answers appear in a white box with black text:
[Rising chart emoji] Premiums would more than double on average (rising by 114%) for Marketplace enrollees who currently receive financial assistance via the enhanced premium tax credits.
[Hospital emoji] 3.8 million more people will eventually become uninsured; with healthy enrollees more likely to leave the ACA marketplace and consequently, insurers to increase premium costs.
[Double exclamation mark emoji] Many middle-income families will experience a “double whammy” — losing all financial assistance available through the tax credits and paying higher premiums as insurers raise rates.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zpwka3ky6phhcwmwor4tu5xj/bafkreigyju2w62erydkrminjsvhpxdt2boocagwa6oihged65ea5idbk3i@jpeg)

Great piece by @joshshepperd.bsky.social in @us.theconversation.com about origins of U.S. public broadcasting.
U.S. Public Broadcasting began in 1920s, as a public service ideal, with professors constructing radio stations, often in rural areas to serve citizens.

Trump and many GOP lawmakers want to end all funding for NPR and PBS − unraveling a US public media system that took a century to build

Seven polling sites in Milwaukee ran out of ballots due to "historic turnout" according to city election director. More ballots are being printed and on way. Very important to remind voters that if they're in line when polls close at 8 CT they get to vote. Do not leave. Please spread the word
