If the tax credits are not extended, health insurance premiums will skyrocket for working families across the country, including 85,000 Nevadans who utilize these credits to afford their health care\u201430,000 of whom live in Nevada\u2019s 3rd Congressional District.\n\n\u201cThe ACA Enhanced Premium Tax Credits are a lifeline for working families, helping 85,000 Nevadans afford their health care,\u201d said Congresswoman Susie Lee. \u201cAllowing these credits to expire will only exacerbate our state\u2019s health care crisis and increase costs for ALL Nevadans.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe Sunrise Health System, which includes Sunrise Hospital, Sunrise Children\u2019s Hospital, MountainView Hospital and Southern Hills Hospital, is the largest provider of complex, life-saving care in the state of Nevada,\u201d said HCA Healthcare Far West Division President Jackie Van Blaricum. \u201cIf Enhanced Premium Tax Credits aren\u2019t extended, we could have tens of thousands of our patients losing coverage and therefore access to critical care.\u201d\n\n\u201cEvery day, I see patients living on the edge, struggling with head and neck cancer, facial deformities, and debilitating pain,\u201d said Dr. Mark Glyman, Chief of Surgery at Southern Hills Hospital. \u201cMany rely on limited insurance just to afford basic medicine or care. If that support disappears, where will they go?\u201d\n\n\u201cFor years, I\u2019ve cared for the tiniest among us, the fragile NICU babies who needed constant, life-saving attention,\u201d said Courtney Ogle, Chief Nursing Officer at Southern Hills Hospital. \u201cAs nurses, our greatest responsibility is to provide vital care and to be the voice for our patients. Today, I stand with newborns, children, adults, and seniors alike because every patient at our bedside matters.\u201d\n\nLast week, Congresswomen Lee and Kristen McDonald Rivet (MI-08) led three dozen of their House Democratic colleagues in a letter urging Congressional leadership to immediately extend ACA Enhanced Premium Tax Credits.
