Tax Credits at Risk of Expiring, Meaning Health Care Costs Could Rise for Millions of Americans
WISCONSIN – Today, Friday, December 13th at 1:30 PM CT // 2:30 PM ET, Senator Tammy Baldwin and Wisconsin enrolled in the ACA marketplace will join Protect Our Care Wisconsin to promote the open enrollment period – Sunday is the deadline to secure marketplace coverage that takes effect January 1st.
Speakers will also discuss the urgent need for Congress to stop Republican premium hikes. During this Affordable Care Act (ACA) open enrollment period Wisconsinites will continue to save thousands of dollars on their health care thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act’s enhanced premium tax credits. Thanks to these savings passed by the Biden-Harris administration and Democrats in Congress, a record number of Wisconsinites enrolled in ACA Marketplace plans in 2024. But, these tax credits are set to expire at the end of 2025.
Millions of Americans are depending on lower premiums. According to a new report from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, if Republicans in Congress do not take action to extend the Inflation Reduction Act’s savings, an estimated 61,000 Wisconsinites will see their premiums increase.
