Welcome to the American College of Physicians' Legislative Action Center. This advocacy tool enables ACP to send out action alerts, inform our members of critical health policy issues, and put our members in contact with their legislators. |
Background:
Unless Congress passes legislation, the enhanced premium tax credits will expire on December 31, 2025. The premium tax credits for marketplace plans make health insurance more affordable for low- and middle-income Americans who do not qualify for Medicaid. The Congressional Budget Office projects that about 4 million Americans will lose their health insurance coverage if these tax credits are not extended. A Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) report also estimates that roughly 19 million Americans will face double or triple-digit increases in their premium payments.
Action Requested: Please contact your members of Congress and ask them to pass legislation that extends the health insurance premium tax credits for Health Insurance Marketplace coverage. A sample message has been provided for you that can be personalized.
Please contact Shuan Tomlinson at stomlinson@acponline.org with any questions about this campaign.
