BREAKING: New Non-Partisan Analysis Shows Health Care Premiums Would More Than Double Without ACA Tax Credits Extension

WASHINGTON, DC –Today,new analysisreleased by the non-partisan Kaiser Family Foundation showed that health care premiums for hardworking families would more than double if the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enhanced premium tax credits are not extended this year. In Nevada, nearly95,000people benefit from lower health care costs thanks to the enhanced premium tax credits. As Washington Republicans threaten to shut down the government as a result of their refusal to extend these tax credits, Senator Rosen released the following statement:
“The Affordable Care Act’s enhanced premium tax credits allow Nevadans to access quality, affordable health care. If Washington Republicans continue to refuse to extend these critical tax credits, health care costs will more than double and Nevadans will lose coverage,”said Senator Rosen.“I’m calling on Republicans in Congress to not shut down the government and instead work with Democrats in a bipartisan way to extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits and protect hardworking families’ access to medical care.”
Senator Rosen has been a steadfast champion for Nevadans’ access to quality, affordable health care. Shestrongly opposedthe Republicans’ extreme “One Big Beautiful Bill” that severely cut Medicaid from people who needed it most. Earlier this year, Senator Rosen helped introduce theHealth Care Affordability Actto make permanent the ACA’s enhanced premium tax credits — ensuring that Nevada families can continue to afford coverage. She alsotraveled up and down the state, meeting withhospital staffto discuss Washington Republicans’ extreme cuts to Medicaid and her legislation toreverse these cuts.
