Key Highlights

  • Time is running out for Congress to act.
  • Once the subsidies for Americans who buy health care plans through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) expire at the end of the year, millions of Americans' premiums will skyrocket.
  • Democrats have been pushing to extend those enhanced tax credits to prevent premiums from doubling or more.
  • The enhanced subsidies began in 2021 to make ACA marketplace plans more affordable for more Americans.
  • The marketplace came out of the health reform President Barack Obama signed into law in 2010 that Republicans have long criticized.
