Bipartisan Bill Emerges as the Only ACA Tax-Credit Fix That Saves Taxpayers Money

<p><strong>WASHINGTON, DC – </strong>A new analysis from the <a href="https://www.crfb.org/blogs/aca-subsidy-extension-tracker">Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget </a>shows that Representatives Kevin Kiley (R-CA) and Sam Liccardo&#8217;s (D-CA) bipartisan <em><a href="https://kiley.house.gov/posts/bipartisan-bill-to-protect-affordable-care-act-tax-credits-introduced">Fix It Act</a></em> <a href="https://liccardo.house.gov/media/press-releases/bipartisan-bill-protect-affordable-care-act-tax-credits-introduced"></a>is the only proposal to extend ACA premium tax credits that would reduce the deficit, saving taxpayers an estimated $90 billion over the next decade.</p>

<p>The Fix It Act pays for the extension by including savings from cost controls and protections against fraud and overpayments &#8211; keeping health care affordable for tens of millions of Americans without adding to the national debt.</p>

<p>Just last week, three more lawmakers — including two Republicans — signed on to the Fix It Act, giving it a <a href="https://kiley.house.gov/posts/aca-tax-credit-solution-bill-emerges-with-most-bipartisan-support">broad bipartisan</a> coalition.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“With 22 million Americans facing a massive increase in healthcare costs, doing nothing is not an option,” said <strong>Rep. Kiley</strong>. “The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget has confirmed that our bill is the only proposal that&nbsp;<em>saves</em>&nbsp;Congress money while preventing this impending increase in premium payments.&#8221;</p>

<p>“We have a plan to help tens of millions of Americans stay on their health care, and our coalition is growing because this is a fiscally responsible solution that lawmakers on both sides of the aisle can support,”&nbsp;said<strong> Rep. Liccardo.</strong>&nbsp;“We appreciate the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget’s analysis, and we hope it encourages more common-sense colleagues to join us in getting this done.”</p>

<p><em>Representatives Don Bacon (R-NE), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH), Deborah Ross (D-NC), Zach Nunn (R-IA), Mike Lawler (R-NY), and Ro Khanna (D-CA) have also cosponsored the legislation.</em>&nbsp;</p>
