It is crystal clear that we must not allow the tax credits to expire this year, or the American people will be left footing the bill for soaring health care costs at a time when too many are struggling to stay afloat. “Extending these tax credits is one of the most immediate and effective ways to address the cost-of-living crisis that is making it harder and harder for working families to make ends meet. I sincerely hope that we can end the logjam in Congress and avoid a suffocating health care cost hike for millions of families. It’s what our constituents expect—and deserve—from their elected representatives.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:52:45Z |
