Enhanced tax credits provide important relief for families now as we work to address underlying drivers of high health care costs. Without congressional action next year, millions of families will lose access to affordable coverage. Thank you @SenSchumer, @SenatorShaheen, @WhipKClark, and @RepUnderwood!

NEW: I'm introducing legislation with @SenatorBaldwin to make permanent the Affordable Care Act's enhanced premium tax credits before they expire. These credits have strengthened health insurance access and affordability for millions of families - let's get this done.

What is @JDVance even talking about here?
Surprise bills for new mothers & the new child from out-of-network providers were already prohibited by the bipartisan 2020 No Surprises Act, which Trump signed into law.

New proposed rule seeks to ensure consumer protections for small businesses and workers, rescinding Trump-era policy. The previous policy allowed Association Health Plans (AHPs) to evade laws that protect people from fraud & skirt #ACA requirements. Read: healthaffairs.org/content/fo…

New blog from @GidLukens explains how two House bills that expand Health Savings Account would boost high-income tax breaks — not affordability of care. cbpp.org/blog/house-bills-ex…

HSAs cost lots of federal dollars but provide very little benefit to low income people.
28 Sep 2023
Today, the Ways and Means Committee is marking up legislation on HSAs, a solution that clearly does not work for American families living paycheck to paycheck. Instead, solutions like ACA tax credits effectively address health coverage affordability & should be made permanent.

This is an important case for people to watch! The no surprises act keeps patients' costs in check when they unexpectedly get out-of-network emergency or hospital care. This case could raise patients' prices again.

I suspect TMA III is the most likely to get overturned by higher courts, but it also has the most direct impacts increasing consumer costs.
The NSA's core protection limits cost-sharing to what it would've been in-network for a QPA-priced service.
So ↑ QPA --> ↑ cost-sharing

1 in 5 adults are facing symptoms of anxiety and depressive disorders, yet mental health services are often overlooked in insurance coverage. Today’s @POTUS proposed rule would increase the utilization of mental health & substance use care. Get the facts: tinyurl.com/4f8wpwtn

The proposed rules address short-term plans, fixed indemnity plans, and ask for comments on level-funded arrangements. They'll help consumers avoid junk that doesn't really pay their health care expenses.

After 5 years of damaging Trump-era “junk” insurance plans, Americans will get some relief. Finally, thanks to a new @POTUS proposed rule, families nationwide can get rid of these bare-bones plans in favor of actual comprehensive coverage! Get the facts: tinyurl.com/5y2rt3r5
