3 days agoThe ACA premium surge hits home
Marketplace premiums are rising (about 26% average), and letting enhanced tax credits expire could sharply increase consumer costs.
In a Friday appearance on Fox News, Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) said that 57% of people who identify themselves as MAGA republicans support an extension of Obama-era tax credits for those who buy their own health insurance through the ACA Marketplace. The statistic comes from a new poll published on Friday by the Kaiser Family Foundation, which found that 78% of all adults support Congress in extending these tax credits, along with 57% of MAGA Republicans.
