Senate Blocks Extension of ACA Premium Tax Credits, Affecting Millions
The U.S. Senate recently voted on a proposal to extend the Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium tax credits for an additional three years. The proposal, intended to prevent a potential health care cost increase for millions, was blocked. Without the extension, an estimated 24 million Americans face significant premium increases, with potential doubling or more in 2026 costs, impacting health care affordability and access.
