30+ Patient Orgs Urge Congress to Extend Health Care Tax Credits Immediately

Cancer Nation and more than 30 other patient advocacy organizations are calling on Congress to immediately renew the enhanced premium tax credits (eAPTCs), warning that millions of Americans could lose access to affordable health coverage. As insurers issue 2026 premium notices showing average increases of 114%, patients, especially those with serious health conditions, face impossible choices. The Partnership to Protect Coverage urges swift Congressional action to prevent catastrophic coverage losses and protect families from unaffordable care.

The Partnership notes in the letter: “This is not an ‘end-of-year’ problem as open enrollment begins on November 1 with higher rates. With every day that goes by, more Americans will make the gut-wrenching choice to forego health insurance because their premiums are skyrocketing. At this point, only Congress can remedy this problem—and expediency matters.“

Take Action. Contact your members of Congress at (202) 224-3121 and urge them to extend these tax credits now.
