Today I was proud to be at the White House to recognize passage of the Inflation Reduction Act. Thank you @POTUS and Congress for taking action to keep real money in the pockets of Americans and extend health care tax credits for nearly 13 million individuals.

We thank the House for passing the #InflationReductionAct, which includes the much-needed extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits. This will protect nearly 13M Americans from higher costs. We look forward to @POTUS signing this bill into law. bcbs.com/press-releases/blue…

We applaud the Senate’s extension of the Affordable Care Act Tax Credits within the #InflationReductionAct, protecting nearly 13M Americans at a time when prices are rising.

Our analysis shows premium costs could rise more than 20% or even double if Congress does not extend premium tax credits. Learn more: bcbsa.co/6011j12Vb

Health insurance premiums will hit harder than inflation if Congress doesn’t extend premium tax credits. Americans could see their premiums rise more than 20%, all while grocery & gas prices remain high. Learn more: bcbsa.co/6013j1KyV

With a path to get everyone covered through the #ACA, we call on Congress to make the American Rescue Plan Act tax credits permanent. Without action, premiums could increase by $200/month – a cost hardworking families can’t endure. Read my full statement: bcbsa.co/6014wQitQ
