Bipartisan engagement across both chambers will be essential to crafting a health care proposal that can pass and be signed into law. On November 1, with the start of the open enrollment period, millions of Americans saw just how much their health insurance premium costs will spike next year,\u201d wrote the members.\n\n\u201cMillions will lose their health care coverage because they will no longer be able to afford it. As you know, those who rely on the expiring Affordable Care Act enhanced premium tax credits (ePTCs) are facing drastic premium increases,\u201d the members continued. \u201cAllowing these tax credits to lapse without a clear path forward would risk real harm to those we represent.\u201d\n\nRead the full letter HERE.\n\nThroughout the government shutdown, Congresswoman Lee has continued to sound the alarm on the health care crisis facing Nevada since Republicans in Washington took away tax credits that nearly 30,000 southern Nevadans depend on to afford their health insurance. Lee visited Federally Qualified Health Centers that could be forced to cut services, met with southern Nevadans who will face debilitating cost increases, and heard from providers who worried about what these cuts could mean for their patients. Without these credits, costs for families could rise by up to fourfold.\n\nShe also cosponsors the Bipartisan Premium Tax Credit Extension Act, which would provide a one-year extension of the ACA Enhanced Premium Tax Credits, providing members of Congress time to negotiate a permanent solution.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:52:45Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://susielee.house.gov/media/press-releases/icymi-congresswoman-lee-urges-senate-leaders-include-house-negotiations-lower"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8597937412559986, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
