Protect Our Health Care: Tell Congress to Extend ACA Tax Credits
Millions Could Lose Health Coverage if Congress Fails to Act
22 million Americans rely on Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium tax credits to afford health insurance. If Congress lets them expire at the end of 2025, premiums will skyrocket by 75% and over 4 million people will lose coverage entirely.
These tax credits are a lifeline for cancer survivors, working families, and people in every corner of America. Without them, millions will be priced out of coverage, pushed into medical debt, and forced to go without lifesaving care.
This is not about partisanship — it’s about people. And it’s about whether we, as a nation, believe that families should have access to affordable care.
