Congress should do the responsible thing and extend enhanced PTCs now, to prevent massive coverage loss and ensure people like Kat, who don’t have an offer of employer coverage, can continue to afford coverage and get the health care they need. www.cbpp.org/research/hea...

There is no time to delay. No one can afford premium hikes like this, and the solution--extending the premium tax credit enhancements--is clear.
Georgia’s 2026 ACA marketplace window shopping began October 1, meaning people are already seeing next year’s premiums spike because of expiring tax credit enhancements. A typical 60-year-old couple making $85,000 in Georgia will face a $24,900 increase in annual premiums. (1/4)

The Ways & Means budget proposal would prevent people granted asylum, refugee status, victims of trafficking, and more from buying affordable coverage on the #ACA marketplaces. Important thread from my colleague @shelbytgonzales.bsky.social:
The #ACA already bars people who don’t have a documented immigration status from marketplace coverage, but House Rs now want to go further and prevent groups of people in the US lawfully – ppl who pay taxes and do important work -- from health coverage too.

My colleague @brendanvduke.bsky.social unpacks what’s in the GOP tax bill and what’s conspicuously missing: extending tax credits that make #ACA marketplace coverage more affordable. Millions will lose coverage as a result.
New @centeronbudget.bsky.social analysis of the draft GOP tax plan released yesterday:
Unsurprisingly, it provides enormous tax cuts for the wealthy—including an average annual $65k cut for the top 1%—while doing little for low- and moderate-income families in 2027 (and even less by 2029).
