Pete Aguilar (CA-33) released the following statement on his vote in support of a three-year extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits to lower health care costs after Republicans let these subsidies expire at the end of 2025: “After months of sounding the alarm on the health care crisis in this country, House Democrats successfully forced a vote on legislation to reduce health insurance costs for hardworking people. “By restoring and extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits for three more years, health care premiums will remain affordable for more than 1.7 million Californians and millions of Americans across the country. At a time when Americans are already facing an affordability crisis thanks to Donald Trump and Republican economic policies, we need to be doing everything in our power to cut costs across the board. “Now, we have a real path forward in Congress to restore this vital lifeline. I urge Senate Republicans to join us in putting the hardworking American families we represent first. The American people can’t afford any more delays.” Back To News
